Colorado Law Auto Insurance Requirements

We all know that by law in Colorado and most states, that we are required to carry auto insurance by law. Or known as financial responsibility, which in other words if you can’t self insure yourself, you must by car insurance. So what exactly is required by law. Since were an at fault state, the insurance required to buy, is to put it shortly, not very much.

Colorado Vehicle Insurance Requirements

All that is required in Colorado is to carry compulsory auto insurance liability of 25/50/15. Liability only covers the 3rd potential party. So for example, you are considered at fault in a car accident. You are the first party, the insurance company is the second party, and the person you were at fault for in the accident with, is the 3rd party.

What Does 25/50/15 mean?

25/50/15 or 25-50-15 means liability policy limits are as the following, in which an insurance company is responsible in costs, judgements, lost wages and pain and suffering in an at fault accident, representing and defending you.

  • 25,000 dollars per person in bodily injury
  • 50,000 dollars per total of accident in bodily injury
  • 15,000 dollars property damage.

Is there anything else required or optional?

Nothing else is required to be carried.  Optional coverages include:

  • Higher Liability Limits of 50/100/25, 100/300/50, 250/500/100 and 500 csl.
  • Medical Payments
  • Uninsured or under insured motorists.
  • Uninsured motorists property damage.
  • Physical damage, which includes comprehensive and collision.
  • Rental Car Reimbursement
  • Towing

What We recommend

Everyone is always a case by case scenario. That’s why I never recommend buying a policy through the internet. We always take time with our clients, to find out what is best for them. We first of all would recommend higher liability limits. The limits required by law are very low. You are usually cutting yourself by buying these limits. My saying is cheap rates get you cheap coverage. We also make sure that every policy has uninsured or under insured motorists. If you don’t have health insurance, medical payment coverage is very important. If you have any questions, we can write in 45 states, and most of all, our home State and City, Denver, Colorado.

Wedding Insurance, Why It Is So Important.

  • Your Wedding is probably one of the most important dates in you life. There are all kinds of things that you need to prepare for. You have the rehearsal, you have food and catering, the brides dress, and the grooms suit. But one of your most important things is actually your wedding insurance. For your wedding should be worry free.

The biggest risk at a wedding is alcohol. Most of the time, alcohol is being served at weddings. As we all know people become a lot different after a couple of drinks, or even some times drunk. There are always safety nets you can put in to prevent alcohol related accidents. Such as providing transportation for the way home, or even offering a hotel room to all of your guests. But still at the end, alcohol related accidents happen to much.

A couple of examples of incidents that could occur during or after your weeding are; a person gets to intoxicated and drives home from your wedding. The person gets in at-fault accident and seriously hurts someone else. The next day later you find out, that they got into an accident leaving your wedding. A week after your getting find out, your getting sued by the third party they hurt. Another incident could be, after both of you leave the after party(groom and bride), your buddy Johnny gets into a fist fight with another guest because he’s drunk. A week later your getting sued by that guest that got injured by Johnny.  Ultimately, they say the groom and brides wedding after party, was to irresponsible with serving alcohol.

Before the weeding you were smart enough to purchase One of Our Travelers Wedding Insurance Packages and you are covered for all of this. Lets see the highlights of this program.
