REQUIRED COVERAGES IN KANSAS

Liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage claims resulting from an accident that is primarily your fault. The limits in your policy are the maximum amounts your insurance company will pay for bodily injury and property damage claims. *They are typically expressed as three amounts separated by slashes written as 25/50/25 or 25,000/50,000/25,000*

Kansas’ Financial Responsibility law requires you to maintain liability limits of at least:

$25,000 | Bodily Injury per Person

The first number is the maximum amount that your policy will pay for bodily injury to or death of one (1) person in any one (1) accident.

$50,000 | Bodily Injury per Accident

The maximum amount that your policy will pay for bodily injury to or death of two (2) or more persons in any one (1) accident, subject to the $25,000 per person limit.

$25,000 | Property Damage

The maximum amount that your policy will pay for injury to or destruction of property of others in an accident.
