To legally own and operate a motor vehicle in the state of Washington you must establish ‘proof of financial responsibly’. To do so you must deposit $60,000 with the states Treasurer, or file a surety bond in the same amount or simply purchase a liability policy with the following minimum requirements mandated:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person, per accident
- $50,000 bodily injury for two or more persons, per accident
- $10,000 property damage
While Washington state laws require minimal standards, most auto, legal and financial experts will advise you to purchase increased limits and additional coverage such as personal injury protection, uninsured motorists coverage, comprehensive, collision and umbrella policies – all designed to insure that you and your assets are fully protected.

Washington (WA) Teen Auto Insurance Laws, Rates & Requirements
In Washington state, two thirds of all teenage deaths are from car crashes. And much like other states across the nation, the risk for car crashes in 16-19 year olds in Washington state is higher than any other age group. In addition, some of the most devastating teen car crashes occur at night, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 p.m. In response to the disturbing teen car crash statistics, Washington state has adopted the graduated driver licensing (GDL) system. Recently, the state has even updated and strengthened restrictions on teens seeking a driver’s license.
