Indiana Auto Insurance

Indiana requires that at-fault drivers pay for any damages caused during an accident. For this reason, Indiana is what is referred to as a “tort” state. In a “tort” state there is minimum liability coverage which allows drivers to pay for any expenses arising from an accident, but their liability may extend beyond their insurance coverage.
