Mississippi law requires
drivers meet minimum financial responsibility requirements.
The state of Mississippi
defines minimum financial
responsibility requirements being able to pay up to 10000 per injured person, up
to 20000 per accident and 5000 for damage to the property of others
You may prove your ability to meet
these financial
responsibility requirement by:
Purchasing Auto Insurance with the following minimum coverage
Bodily Injury Insurance - split
limit - 10000 per injured person limit / 20000 per accident limit
Property Damage Insurance - 5000 per accident
Posting a surety bond for $35000
Making a cash security deposit to
the State of Mississippi of $35000.
These state mandated minimums are
extremely low, and you are urged to consider the risk of carrying insurance that
only meets these Mississippi requirements.
You should also note that in spite
of the state laws requiring financial responsibility it is estimated that 30% of
the motorists in Mississippi are uninsured which may make you want to look into
the purchase of uninsured motorists insurance. (UIM)
