Minimum State Insurance Requirements

The state of Missouri follows a Tort system meaning someone must be found to be at fault for causing the accident, and that person and their insurance company is responsible for all the damages. You should be aware that the details of a tort system vary from state to state and it is best to check with your state insurance regulator. Visit our State Insurance Regulators page for a list of links to all the state insurance regulators websites.

Missouri state law requires minimum Bodily Injury Liability coverage of $25,000 per injured person up to a total of $50,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $10,000. This basic coverage is often referred to as 25/50/10 coverage.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in your coverage helps pay for “reasonable and necessary” medical expenses for you and your passengers. While Missouri state law does not require a minimum Personal Injury Protection, some insurers offer this as an optional coverage.

To help protect against damages caused to you and your passengers by an uninsured driver, Missouri state law requires a minimum UnInsured/UnderInsured Motorist coverage of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident for any bodily injury caused by the uninsured driver.

What is auto insurance?
An auto insurance policy is a contract between you and an insurance company. You pay a premium, and in exchange, the insurance company promises to pay for specific car-related financial losses during the term of the policy.

Why do I need it?
In some states, to drive (get license plates) you must carry:
Liability coverage to pay for losses you cause others, or:
No-fault coverage to pay you and your passengers for medical and related expenses caused by injuries from a car accident, regardless of fault, or
Both coverages.

Even in states where coverage isn’t required, drivers must, by law, be able to pay for losses they may cause others. Having insurance is the simplest way for most people to comply. Coverage for vehicle damage usually is necessary to finance a car.

Without insurance, you risk paying for the full cost of:
Any harm you cause others, or:
Repairing or replacing your car if it’s damaged or stolen.
