Missouri

Missouri requires minimum liability of 25/50/25 — $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 property damage. These are state minimums; consumer advocates typically recommend higher limits (100/300/100) to cover serious injuries.

Bodily injury liability in Missouri 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 liability in Missouri 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.

Missouri REQUIRES uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on every auto policy. UM bodily injury coverage at 25/50 is mandatory on every policy. UM/UIM coverage protects YOU and your passengers when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries.

Self-insurance available for fleets of 26+ vehicles through the Department of Revenue. Note: Missouri raised limits from 25/50/25 effective January 2023. SR-22 required for two years after DWI, uninsured accidents, or repeat suspensions.
