Auto insurance protects you and your family against financial loss if you cause an accident. Insurance covers the injuries and damages caused during an accident up to the coverage limits. It may also cover the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle if it is damaged or stolen.
In Nevada, you are required to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance (or post a bond) in the amount of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per incident in Bodily Injury coverage and a minimum of $20,000 Property Damage. Before you can register a new car you must have proof of insurance and a passed Smog test. If you are caught driving without car insurance, you may have to pay a large fine, have your driver’s license suspended, and/or have your car impounded.
SR22--This is when a state requires a driver to prove they are financially able to pay for an accident, which is typically via an auto liability insurance policy. A SR-22 is the most common form required to be filed with the state as proof of coverage. Financial Responsibility filings are usually required for Driving without Insurance, Driving with a Suspended License, or other serious infractions such as DUI.)
When you cause an accident, liability insurance either pays for expenses related to damages done to the other driver and any passengers (bodily injury liability) or damage to another party's property (property damage liability).
Liability insurance is the minimum amount of insurance that any person or business must carry in the state of Nevada. Liability Insurance protects the individual or business if they may be held legally liable for causing bodily injuries, property damage, or medical injuries to someone else because of their negligence or malpractice. Liability insurance policies cover both legal costs and any legal payouts for which the insured would be responsible if found legally liable up to the coverage limits. Intentional damage and contractual liability are typically not covered in these types of policies.
Bodily Injury Liability coverage is for other driver’s and passengers’ injuries or death for which you are at fault.
Property Damage Liability coverage for damages to someone else’s property for which you are at fault.
Comprehensive Coverage pays for your vehicle in case of losses resulting from an event other than an accident, such as theft, hitting an animal, vandalism, or a tree branch falling on your vehicle. Your deductible amount will be subtracted from total amount paid.
Collision Coverage pays offers protection against crashes with a stationary object or another vehicle. It covers the cost of repairs or replacement to your car.
Uninsured/Under-insured (UI/UIM) Motorist Coverage protects against the risk of getting into an accident with a driver who doesn't have insurance, whose insurance is minimal, or who does a hit-and-run. It take care of your injuries, damages or death caused by an at-fault driver without insurance or without enough insurance to cover all costs. This coverage could also pay if the other parties’ cannot be identified because they left the accident scene. UM/UIM coverage is not mandated by law. It is an optional coverage that many Nevadans purchase to ensure that they and passengers in their vehicles have adequate protection if a covered vehicle is hit by an uninsured driver, a hit-and-run driver, or by a driver who does not have high enough insurance limits to pay for medical expenses.
Nevada law requires insurance companies to offer UM/UIM coverage in an amount that is no less than the statutory minimum liability amount. If you currently carry UM/UIM in an amount less than 25/50 ($25,000 of coverage per person and $50,000 of coverage per incident for bodily injury), your insurance company will have to increase the offered UM/UIM limits to 25/50 also. To do so, your insurance company or insurance agent will ask you to fill out a new “UM/UIM Selection/Rejection Form”.
Policies often cover parties other than the named insured. You may need to add others to your policy when your spouse needs to be listed, other household members need coverage, or when someone else has co-ownership of the insured property or vehicle and uses it on a regular basis (find out whether your policy will cover a loss to your vehicle while it was driven by someone else). The policy would cover these individuals or organizations as additional insureds.
Unlike an additional insured, an additional interest is a third party who has an interest in protecting the property or vehicle insured but is not themselves insured under the policy. What this means is that they have a reason for wanting the property or vehicle to have insurance coverage in the event of a loss.
Medical Payments Coverage pays for bodily injury caused by an accident sustained by an insured person incurred by you and passengers in your vehicle injured in an accident.
Deductible is the amount you agree to pay before your insurance kicks in. The higher your deductible the lower your premium usually is.
If you're involved in an accident that causes $5,000 worth of damage and your deductible is $500, then you are on the hook for that first $500 before your insurance takes care of the rest. You can look at the $500 deductible as an entry fee before your insurance will kick in and pay the claim.
Premium – the periodic payment paid by the insured to the insurance company in exchange for insurance coverage.
Accidental Death Indemnity & Specific Disability Benefits provides accidental death and disability benefits up to the covered limits
Collectible Auto–Classic car insurance is not the same as daily driver insurance. Most insurance companies will only give you liability coverage for you auto if it is over 25 years old and stated value of a few thousand dollars. There are special companies out there that will insure your older vehicle just like it were new Collectible Auto insurance packages are available for your unique needs.
Prior to issuing your policy, you and your agent come to an “agreed value” for your vehicle. In the event that there is a total loss to your vehicle, the “agreed value” is the amount you will receive without subtracting a deductible. A picture from each corner of the vehicle is required.
Stated Value policy give the insurer the right to pay you either your vehicle’s depreciated cash value amount or the cost to replace your vehicle—and they will choose the lower of the two amounts.
Rideshare refers to certain online transportation services. Specifically, it means any such service that is accessed through a mobile electronic device application or through a digital network. The service must involve matching riders to drivers who are compensated for picking up and transporting persons between agreed-upon locations. Insureds who are involved with driver services such as UBER and LYFT represent a new coverage challenge under a personal automobile policy.

Insureds who are involved with driver services such as UBER and LYFT represent a new coverage challenge under a personal automobile policy Ridesharing matches you with a nearby driver who will pick you up and take you where you want to go. Rideshare coverage protects you and your vehicle if you drive for a ridesharing service such as Uber and Lyft. While ridesharing companies may provide some insurance that applies to drivers operating on their platforms, their coverage may be limited while you're waiting to match with a rider. Many insurers offer additional rideshare insurance that you can add to your personal auto policy to help fill coverage gaps.
Your personal policy covers you when you are driving anywhere or when you turn on the rideshare application, if you have the rideshare endorsement on your policy, while waiting for a rideshare client. If you drive for rideshare and you do not have the rideshare endorsement and you cause an accident, there may not be coverage.
When you accept a rideshare order, at the time of acceptance, your coverage flips over to the rideshare company you are driving for. When you drop the client off and they exit your car, that is when your insurance coverage turns back over to your regular insurance. Many rideshare drivers also deliver food for Grubhub or Postmates.
Rideshare driving does not cover pizza delivery.
Rideshare drivers must add a Rideshare endorsement added to their personal lines insurance. A minimum liability coverage of $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $50000 property damage is required.

With more portable technology now than ever, driver distractions have risen to unprecedented numbers. But cell phones aren’t the only problem.
Drivers can be distracted by eating and drinking, grooming, tuning the radio or even talking to passengers. Anything that takes a driver’s attention from the road is a potential hazard.
There are three main types of distraction:
• Visual — taking your eyes off the road
• Manual — taking your hands off the wheel
• Cognitive — taking your mind off driving
While all distractions can endanger drivers’ safety, texting is the most alarming because it involves all three types.
Other distracting activities include:
• Using a cell phone
• Eating and drinking
• Talking to passengers
• Grooming
• Reading, including maps
• Using a PDA or navigation system
• Watching a video
• Changing the radio station, CD, or Mp3 player
Young Drivers At Risk Young drivers are more at risk of distracted driving— especially those under 20 years of age.

A driver license suspension or revocation is a separate action from any court case. Reinstatement of your driving privileges is not automatic. You must follow DMV reinstatement procedures and physically receive a license to regain your driving privileges, even if your criminal charges were dismissed or reduced.
No state may issue a driver license if there is an active suspension or revocation in another state. License suspension and revocation information is shared with all 50 states. If your driving privilege is suspended or revoked in another state, you must follow that state's reinstatement procedures prior to obtaining a Nevada driver license.
If you are required to maintain an SR-22 filing as a condition of your reinstatement, it must be maintained for three years from the date you reinstate your driver license.
If at anytime during the three-year period you fail to maintain the SR-22, your driving privilege will be suspended. This may result in starting the three-year requirement again. If we receive a cancellation of your SR-22, you will be notified of a possible suspension by certified mail.
There is no statute of limitations on the SR-22 requirement. The continuous three-year requirement begins from the date you reinstate your driver's license regardless of how long you have been in suspension or when you purchased the coverage.
The DMV does not notify drivers of when they are eligible to remove the SR-22 filing. If you are unsure of the date, please contact us.
If you do not maintain coverage continuously during the required period, your insurance company will notify the DMV by sending a Form SR-26. DMV will suspend your license and send notification of this to you by certified mail. The required period of coverage will begin over.
