Do you need car insurance if you paid cash for the car in california?

Congratulations for having the cash to buy your car. Will you also have the cash to pay for the $80,000 car that you hit and total in an accident that is your fault? Do you also have the cash to pay the $400,000 judgement that is awarded to the other party for injuries, lost work pay, and medical expenses. These are not unrealistic figures on losses. This is why you have insurance. It is an exchange of risk for premiums. This lowers your financial risk of loss but of course you have to pay some premium for the insurance company accepting the risk.
