Relating to minimum limits for motor vehicle insurance coverage
HB 5505 would increase the minimum liability insurance coverage requirements for motor vehicles in West Virginia. It raises current minimums from $25,000 for bodily injury/death of one person, $50,000 for two or more people, and $25,000 for property damage to higher levels (exact amounts not specified in provided context). These changes would apply to new insurance policies and renewals starting on the bill's effective date. Vehicle owners and drivers in West Virginia would need to carry the higher coverage amounts to meet state requirements.
