Minimum Coverage Requirements in Wyoming

Wyoming mandates minimum liability coverage of 25/50/20: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $20,000 for property damage. Drivers with DUIs, suspended licenses, uninsured accidents, or repeated violations typically must file SR-22 proof of insurance with the Wyoming Department of Transportation for 3 years. State law does not require uninsured motorist coverage, but approximately 14% of Wyoming drivers are uninsured—among the highest rates in the nation—making UM/UIM coverage critical for high-risk drivers vulnerable to rate spikes from another at-fault accident.
