Car insurance rules in Massachusetts

Massachusetts requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 per accident and $30,000 of property damage liability, often written 25/50/30. It also requires personal injury protection ($8,000) and uninsured motorist coverage ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident).

These are legal minimums, not a recommendation: a serious crash can cost far more, and anything above your limits is yours to pay.
