Hurt in a Kansas Car Accident? Here’s What Your Insurance May (or May Not) Cover
After a car accident, most people focus on getting their vehicle fixed—but what about your medical bills and injuries? In Kansas, there are two main types of insurance coverage that can come into play: Bodily Injury Liability (BI) and Personal Injury Protection (PIP).
At Keystone Medical Group, we help patients throughout Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, and surrounding areas get the care they need and understand how these coverages apply to their situation.
What Is Bodily Injury Coverage?
Bodily Injury Liability is part of the at-fault driver’s auto insurance policy. It helps cover the medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs of others injured in an accident the driver caused.
In Kansas, BI coverage is required by law. The minimum limits are:
-
$25,000 per person
-
$50,000 per accident
So, if another driver causes the crash and you’re hurt, their BI insurance may pay for your medical treatment and other damages. However, BI coverage does not pay your bills automatically—you may need to file a claim, and sometimes, involve an attorney.
What Is PIP (Personal Injury Protection)?
Kansas is a no-fault state, which means your own insurance policy includes PIP coverage, no matter who caused the crash. PIP helps pay for:
-
Medical expenses
-
Lost wages
-
Rehabilitation costs
-
Funeral expenses (in fatal accidents)
-
In-home services if you’re unable to care for yourself
In Kansas, the minimum required PIP coverage includes:
-
$4,500 for medical expenses per person
-
$900 per month in lost income (up to 12 months)
-
$25 per day for in-home services
-
$2,000 for funeral expenses
-
$4,500 for rehabilitation
Unlike BI coverage, PIP pays out quickly, but it’s often not enough to cover all your medical needs—especially in moderate or serious accidents.
