Kansas car insurance basics

All car insurance policies in Kansas need to include 3 different coverage types.

Liability insurance
This helps pay for others' car repairs or medical expenses after an at-fault car accident. Kansas requires drivers to carry:
- $25,000 in bodily injury coverage per person
- $50,000 in bodily injury coverage per incident
- $10,000 in property damage coverage per incident
These limits often appear as 25/50/10.
Personal injury protection (PIP)
This goes toward a variety of your own medical fees after an incident, regardless of fault. You're required to maintain a policy with at least the following limits:
- $4,500 of medical coverage per person on your policy
- $900 for disability/loss of income per month
- $25 for at-home services per day
- $2,000 for funeral expenses
- $4,500 for rehab costs
Uninsured/underinsured motorist protection (bodily injury only)
This can help pay for medical expenses if you and your passengers are hit by a driver who has a little or no coverage. The minimum limits you're allowed to carry are $25,000 per person, $50,000 per incident.

Uninsured drivers in Kansas

Ten percent of Kansas drivers were uninsured according to a recent report from the Insurance Research Council. This was below the national average of 13.8 percent.

Settling injury claims after car accidents

Kansas follows no-fault guidelines when assessing bodily injury claims. That means that if you or a passenger is injured, you file a claim through your own insurer regardless of who caused the accident. Your policy's PIP coverage can help pay for medical expenses up to the limit you select.

When no-fault doesn't apply

Kansas drivers (or their families) are permitted to seek damages in court if their medical bills top $2,000 or if the injured party suffered permanent or severe injuries or died as a result of the accident.

Settling property damage claims after car accidents

Kansas uses a comparative fault system. If another driver causes damage to your vehicle or property, you can seek repair or replacement payments through that person's insurance company.

If your car costs $500 to repair and the other driver is deemed 80 percent at fault, you could collect $400 from the other driver's insurer.
