States paying the most in car insurance premiums
When it comes to the most precious things in life, Americans will go to great lengths to protect them—often by way of insurance. Consumers pay large sums of money to guarantee compensation in the event that something unpredictably awful happens to their home, loved ones or even their own health, but perhaps the most widely known and best advertised form of insurance is that of automobiles.
There were a projected 289.5 million registered vehicles in the United States in 2021. It is estimated that in the U.S. alone, more than 2 million people are injured in automobile accidents annually, on top of more than 32,000 deaths from road crashes per year. While crashes occur all across the nation, they are far more common in some states than others. Geography appears to plays a role in how much people pay their insurers.
