Wyoming auto insurance regulations call for $25 thousand per person for bodily injury, $50 thousand per accident for bodily injury, and $20 thousand per accident for property damage. Insurance agents may describe this type of coverage as 25/50/20. Any person operating a vehicle on the highways or roads of Wyoming must maintain valid insurance coverage in at least these amounts. In order to register your automobile, you will be required to present proof of this coverage. Wyoming has abandoned its 'no fault' system. Therefore, if you are found responsible for an accident, your insurance company is obligated to cover the expenses. This applies to your damages and may also apply to the damages of the other driver or drivers involved, depending on your coverage.
