Insurance requirements in Colorado
Colorado is an at-fault (tort) state: every driver must carry liability insurance, and insurers must offer uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage. Colorado leads the nation in hail damage along the Front Range, and large stretches of the state carry real wildfire exposure — so roof condition, replacement-cost dwelling limits, and wildfire mitigation weigh heavily for homeowners. As an independent agency we shop multiple carriers to fit Colorado's requirements and hail/wildfire risk to your budget. Verify current state minimums with the Colorado Division of Insurance.
