What Pennsylvania Requires & What Affects Your Coverage
Homeowners insurance is not legally required in Pennsylvania. However, most mortgage lenders require homeowners insurance as a condition of financing a home purchase.
Insurance carriers in Pennsylvania typically expect homeowners to insure their property close to full replacement cost. Underinsuring your home can result in reduced claim payments and out-of-pocket expenses after a loss.
For personal auto insurance, Pennsylvania law requires drivers to carry minimum coverage, including:
Bodily Injury Liability: $15,000 per person / $30,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability: $5,000 per accident
Pennsylvania is a choice no-fault state, meaning drivers must choose between limited tort and full tort coverage:
Limited tort lowers premiums but restricts your right to sue for pain and suffering.
Full tort provides broader legal rights and greater protection.
Pennsylvania also requires Medical Benefits (PIP) coverage and offers optional protections such as Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage and Comprehensive and Collision coverage. While minimum coverage meets legal requirements, higher limits and added protections can better safeguard your assets and financial future.
Understanding Pennsylvania’s insurance requirements and coverage options helps ensure you are properly protected and prepared for unexpected risks.
