In addition to making auto liability insurance mandatory for Alabama drivers (8 years ago), the Alabama Legislature might increase the amount of insurance that motorists must buy.
The proposal — $25,000 in insurance coverage for a single injury or death, $50,000 for multiple injuries or deaths, and $25,000 for property damage — is a compromise between plaintiff lawyers, who wanted motorists to carry twice that much, and insurance companies, which said raising the limits too high would increase the number of drivers who risk driving without coverage.
Only 10 states have limits lower than Alabama.
If the bill passes and is signed by the governor, it would take effect immediately.
