Illinois Vehicle Code Clarification

Summary

Chapter 7, Section 7-311 of the Illinois Vehicle Code mandates uninsured motorist coverage with minimum amounts of $25,000 for one person and $50,000 for two or more persons per accident. A judgment is satisfied when these amounts are paid, preventing license suspension for unsatisfied judgments. However, if a judgment exceeds these amounts, such as $100,000, paying only the minimum would not fully satisfy the judgment, and additional payment would be required to prevent license suspension.
