Why Auto Insurance Matters in Alabama
If you drive in Alabama, you’re legally required to carry auto insurance. The right policy protects not only your vehicle but also your financial future. However, buying auto insurance isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. Many Alabama drivers unknowingly fall into traps—choosing bare-minimum coverage, overlooking key protections, or overpaying for policies that don’t truly meet their needs.
At Gorowsky Insurance, we specialize in guiding Alabama drivers through this process, helping you find a plan that balances affordability and protection.
Alabama Auto Insurance Requirements
Alabama law requires all drivers to carry liability insurance with at least:
- $25,000 for bodily injury per person
- $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 for property damage per accident
This 25/50/25 coverage is the minimum. But while it satisfies the law, it may not be enough to fully protect you in the event of a serious accident. Medical bills and property damage can easily exceed these limits, leaving you responsible for the difference.
Common Pitfalls When Buying Auto Insurance in Alabama
- Only Buying the Minimum Coverage
The most affordable plan isn’t always the smartest choice. Minimum coverage might leave you financially vulnerable after a major accident. - Skipping Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
With a higher-than-average rate of uninsured drivers in Alabama, this coverage is essential. Without it, you may be stuck paying for injuries caused by another driver who lacks adequate insurance. - Overlooking Comprehensive and Collision Protection
These coverages protect against theft, weather damage, or collisions regardless of fault. Many Alabama drivers don’t add them, only to regret it when unexpected damage occurs. - Not Shopping Around
Insurance rates vary widely between providers. Sticking with the first quote you get could mean overpaying by hundreds of dollars a year. - Forgetting to Update Policies After Life Changes
Moving, adding a teen driver, or buying a new car all impact your coverage. Failing to update your policy can create gaps or missed savings. - Missing Out on Discounts
Safe driving, bundling home and auto insurance, and other factors often qualify you for discounts. Many drivers never ask and end up paying more.

Real-World Example: Why Coverage Matters
Imagine you cause an accident in Mobile and the other driver’s medical bills total $75,000. With Alabama’s minimum coverage, your insurance pays $50,000—but you’re responsible for the remaining $25,000 out of pocket.
If you had higher liability limits like 100/300/100, your insurance would likely cover the full cost. Gorowsky Insurance helps clients choose these stronger protections without drastically increasing premiums.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Review Your Policy
With rising insurance rates across Alabama due to inflation, repair costs, and more accidents, now is the perfect time to review your policy. Even if you’ve had no claims, you may be overpaying—or worse, underinsured.
