Minimum Coverage Requirements in Kentucky

Kentucky operates under a traditional tort liability system, meaning the at-fault driver's insurance pays for damages in an accident. The state requires proof of financial responsibility — most commonly satisfied through an insurance policy meeting minimum liability limits. Kentucky is also a comparative negligence state, which means even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone in an at-fault accident.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage to another person's vehicle or property when you are at fault.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

This coverage applies before Medicare or other health insurance in most cases. Seniors can reject PIP in writing, but doing so eliminates no-fault medical coverage that supplements Medicare — most financial advisors recommend keeping basic PIP in place.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Kentucky law requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, though you can reject it in writing. This coverage protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage.

Collision and Comprehensive Coverage

Kentucky does not require collision or comprehensive coverage, even if you have a loan or lease (though your lender will).
