Car Insurance

In the United States, car insurance is manditory in most states, though enforcement of the requirement varies from state to state. In New Hampshire, for example, drivers are not required to carry liability insurance, while in Virginia every resident must pay the state a $500 annual fee per vehicle if they choose not to buy liability insurance. Usually, the minimum required by law is third party insurance to protect third parties against the financial consequences of loss, damage or injury caused by a vehicle. Coverage against loss of or damage to the driver's own vehicle is usually optional.
