As in every other state, drivers and vehicle owners in Colorado are required to purchase and carry active automobile insurance when driving. The state outlines basic minimum levels of insurance that every driver must meet. Individuals are able to select insurance coverage beyond these minimums at their discretion. The reason for such a law is to protect you from unnecessary financial loss in the event of an automobile accident.
