Ohio state laws require that consumers follow a Financial Responsibility law requiring each driver to obtain an auto insurance policy providing coverage for bodily injuries or property damage to other persons in case of an accident.

Ohio’s financial responsibility law consists of two parts:

Bodily Injury coverage - Covers up to the policy limits for bodily injuries to other drivers as a result of an accident. Injuries may also include loss of wages and pain and suffering. Your coverage would pay these costs plus the cost of defense in a court of law. The state requires that you have a minimum policy limits for bodily injury of $15,000 per person and $30,000 total per accident.

Property Damage coverage – Covers up to the policy limits for damage you are legally responsible for to other persons property as a result of an accident. Ohio auto insurance laws require that your policy have a minimum of $10,000 for property damage liability.

Other coverage can be available such as Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage which covers the insured (policyholder) in the event that you incur injuries due to a driver that does not hold insurance or if you are a victim of a hit and run accident. Underinsured Motorist Coverage also will help pay in excess of another’s policy if the limits are insufficient.

Coverage for your vehicle is also available. It is referred to as Comprehensive and Collision coverage. If you are financing your vehicle, comprehensive and collision coverage may be required.

Collision coverage pays for any damage to your vehicle as the result of a collision with another vehicle or any object such as a light pole. Although this coverage is not a state requirement, it is required if you want coverage for your vehicle in case of an at-fault accident.

Comprehensive coverage pays for damage to your vehicle as a result of damages other than collision such as theft, fire vandalism and more. Although not required by law, this coverage is needed if you want coverage against theft and other perils.

There are multiple factors that affect your Ohio auto insurance premiums:

The vehicle you drive is an important factor in determining your rates. A more expensive vehicle is generally more expensive to insure with a few exceptions.
There are a few discounts available to help lower insurance costs with features such as airbags, low-jack devices, alarms and automatic seatbelts among others.
Garaging address impacts your premium. Some areas or cities can generate a higher or lower premium than others. Also where you keep your vehicle at night can be a premium determining factor. Safe places like locked garage can reduce chances of theft which can lower premiums.
Your driving record and accident history will directly affect your premium such as speeding tickets or accidents and even drinking and driving.
If you have made a lot of claims in the past, companies can use that to raise your rates. The state of Ohio suggests not claiming small fender benders to avoid an increase in rates.
The coverage you get will also impact your rates. If you get lower coverage, generally your rates will be lower. If you have high deductibles, your rates will also be lower.

It is suggested that you obtain quotes for multiple types of coverage in order to make a decision on coverage you want and can afford.
