Washington Requirements (What You Must Know)
Minimum Liability
Current WA minimums are $25,000/$50,000 bodily injury and $10,000 property damage. We’ll quote higher limits that better fit Milton’s exposure to traffic and weather.
No PIP in Washington
WA is a tort state, so no automatic PIP benefits. Add Medical Payments (MedPay) to help with medical bills regardless of fault.
Helmet & Eye Protection
WA requires helmets for riders under 18; for those 18+, helmets are required if you lack a motorcycle endorsement or if the bike lacks a windshield.
Inspection & Lane Splitting
No routine state inspection required. Lane splitting isn’t permitted in WA-ride safely within your lane.
This is a summary. Your policy controls. We’ll review carrier forms and endorsements with you before binding.
