Minimum Coverage Requirements in Missouri

Missouri operates as a tort state, meaning the at-fault driver's liability insurance pays for injuries and damage in an accident. Drivers must carry proof of insurance at all times, and the Missouri Department of Revenue verifies coverage electronically through its VerifyInsurance system. Missouri does not require personal injury protection (PIP) or uninsured motorist coverage by law, but carriers must offer both and you must reject them in writing if you choose not to purchase them.

Bodily Injury Liability

Bodily injury liability pays medical bills, lost wages, and legal expenses when you cause an accident that injures someone else. Seniors should consider at least 100/300 limits, especially if you own a home or have retirement assets that could be targeted in a lawsuit.

Property Damage Liability

Property damage liability covers repairs to another driver's vehicle, fence, building, or other property you damage in an at-fault accident.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage pays your medical bills and lost income when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Missouri law requires every carrier to offer UM coverage equal to your liability limits, and you must reject it in writing on a state-approved form — verbal rejection at purchase does not count, and coverage is automatically added if the rejection form isn't signed.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle after theft, vandalism, hail, flood, animal strikes, or falling objects. Missouri experiences significant hail events annually, particularly in spring months across the Kansas City and Springfield corridors.

Collision Coverage

Collision coverage pays to repair your vehicle after an accident with another car or object, regardless of fault.
