Every state has minimum limits of liability a driver must carry to have their car registered and be legal to drive on the roads. In Arizona, those limits are often expressed like this 15/30/10. What do these numbers represent? The first number is $15,000 for bodily injury. This means if you injure or kill someone with your vehicle, if you have state minimum liability limits, your policy would max out at $15,000 for any one person who sustained injury or death. We call this the "per person" limit. The second number is $30,000 total or "per accident" limit. This is sometimes referred to as the aggregate limit. $30,000 is the most your policy would pay for bodily injury or death, no matter how many people were injured or killed. As you can imagine, $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident total does not go very far. In fact, it probably wouldn't cover even 1 nights hospital stay. The next number is $10,000 for property damage. This is the most your policy will pay for property damage you cause with your vehicle. This could be damage to another car, a house, or any other kind of real property. Again, $10,000 may not go very far if you hit an $80.000 luxury car, or you cause a multi-car accident.
For seemingly just pennies more you can triple or quadruple your coverage. We recommend insurance of at least 100/300/100 and I'm sure you can figure out this would give you $100,000 per person for bodily injury or death, $300,000 per accident for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for property damage.
