POSSIBLY. The state minimum [25/50/15] covers up to $25K for any one person's injuries and $50K total for all people if you cause an accident. With the cost of a hospital stay, surgeries, or physical therapy breaking everyone's bank these days, 25/50 is easy to surpass. Then, you'll have $15K for property damage, and considering that many vehicles on the road are worth much more than that, the state minimum may leave you on the hook for unpaid damages.

Bodily Injury Liability covers you when you're at fault and pays for the injured person's medical bills and costs associated with the injury. Medical Payments go to you and those riding in your car, regardless of who's at fault. Med Pay can fill in to help meet your healthcare deductible, so be sure the amount you select is adequate.

Yes! It's called rideshare insurance. Since drivers should be covered by state-required insurance by the company they drive for from the time they accept a passenger or delivery job up until its complete, there is a vulnerable time while they are waiting for another new job that neither the driver's insurance nor the company would pay if there were an accident. Most companies can attach this extra coverage to the personal auto policy for a pretty low cost.

That portion of the loss that you agree to pay before the insurance company starts to pay. Once you exceed the deductible, the rest comes out of the insurance companies pockets up to the limits on your policy. The higher your deductible, the more savings you will realize.
