Missouri Auto Insurance

Mother and Daughter Leaning Out of Car WindowMissouri law requires that all motor vehicle drivers and owners maintain automobile liability insurance coverage. Each year Missouri citizens are involved in automobile accidents with drivers who have not maintained the state mandatory required automobile liability insurance limits. This results in unpaid damage claims and higher insurance premium rates for all Missouri residents.

Missouri is an “at-fault” state. The terms “no-fault” and “at-fault” refer to the type of insurance a state requires for car accidents. These terms can also refer to the right of accident victims to file personal injury claims or lawsuits against other drivers to recover compensation for their injuries. Liability coverage should pay your medical expenses and related damages if you are injured in an accident that was caused by another driver.  It is important to remember that liability coverage only pays if the other driver was negligent, or at-fault. 

Missouri residents that own an automobile are required by the state to show proof of insurance when registering a vehicle, renewing their license plates, or reinstating their license. Liability insurance covers your legal liability when injuries to people or property damage happen because of your driving. The State of Missouri requires you to carry the minimum level of liability coverage. The minimum amounts required by state law is:

  • $25,000 per person for bodily injury
  • $50,000 per accident for bodily injury
  • $25,000 per accident for property

The law also requires you to have uninsured motorist coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury per person and $50,000 for bodily injury per accident.
