Fontana & San Bernardino County

The state's own crash rankings recorded 911 people killed or injured on Fontana roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 58 pedestrians were killed or injured here in the same year, and pedestrian claims are exactly where a thin liability limit runs out. In the year the state last ranked, 57 fatal or injury collisions in Fontana were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is full coverage worth it in Fontana, or is liability enough?
CHP's crash file logged 3,200 collisions in Fontana in 2023 (every severity, freeway crashes included): 891 with someone killed or injured and 2,309 with no injury recorded. Collision pays for your own car in both kinds; liability pays the other party. If a repair bill you could not pay tomorrow would be a crisis, that is the test.

My lender in Fontana requires full coverage. Is that the law?
No, that is the loan contract. The State's rule: Insurers report coverage to the California DMV electronically; a registered vehicle with no insurance on record has its registration suspended and may not be driven or parked on a public road.
