Kentucky
Required Minimum Liability Coverage
Kentucky requires minimum liability of 25/50/25 ($25,000 bodily injury per person / $50,000 per accident / $25,000 property damage), PLUS Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $10,000. Kentucky is a no-fault state, so drivers recover medical costs from their own PIP coverage regardless of fault.
Bodily Injury Coverage Requirements
Bodily injury liability in Kentucky pays for medical bills, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering damages owed to people YOU injure in an at-fault crash. The minimum is $25,000 per injured person and $50,000 total per accident. These are caps on what your insurer will pay; you are personally liable for damages above the policy limit.
Property Damage Coverage
Property damage liability in Kentucky pays for damage YOU cause to other people's vehicles, fences, buildings, and other property. The minimum is $25,000 per accident. Given the rising cost of vehicles and repairs, this minimum often falls short of a single luxury vehicle's repair bill.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Kentucky does not strictly require UM/UIM coverage, but insurers must offer it. UM/UIM coverage must be offered; written rejection allowed. UM/UIM coverage protects YOU and your passengers when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Kentucky REQUIRES Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $10,000. PIP pays your own medical bills, a portion of lost wages, and certain replacement services after a crash, regardless of who was at fault. PIP is the cornerstone of the state's no-fault system.
No-Fault System
Kentucky is a choice no-fault state. PIP ("basic reparation benefits") of $10,000 per person is required unless the driver opts out by signing a written rejection of no-fault.
Self-Insurance & Bond Alternatives
Self-insurance certificates available for owners of 26+ vehicles through the Department of Vehicle Regulation. SR-22 may be required after DUI, uninsured accidents, or repeat suspensions.
