Kentucky car insurance coverage your policy must have
Liability coverage
As a resident of Kentucky, there are two types of liability coverage your insurance policy must include: property damage and bodily injury.
- Property damage safeguards your assets if you are found legally responsible for a covered accident. It covers certain damage you may cause to the property or vehicle of another party.
- Bodily injury safeguards your assets if you’re found legally responsible for a covered accident, including certain expenses associated with bodily harm sustained by the other parties.
The minimum amount of Kentucky auto insurance coverage is $25,000/$50,000/$10,000. In the event of a covered accident, your limits for bodily injury are $25,000 per person, with a total maximum of $50,000 per incident. It also covers up to $10,000 for damage to another person’s property.
Liability coverage also provides for your legal defense if a lawsuit is brought against you as a result of a covered accident.
Kentucky auto insurance coverage that’s smart to have
It’s often a good idea to add the following coverages to your policy so you can enjoy the security of being protected on the road:
Comprehensive
This type of Kentucky auto insurance coverage is used to repair your vehicle when physical damage occurs from non-collision related incidents (subject to deductible). Such incidents include theft, fire, vandalism, glass breakage, and contact with animals.
Collision
Collision coverage is used to repair your vehicle when physical damage occurs from collision with another vehicle or object (subject to deductible).
Uninsured/underinsured motorist
Protects you in the event of an accident where the other party is at-fault and either doesn’t carry insurance or is underinsured.
- Bodily injury covers damage due to bodily injury resulting from a covered accident that you and others are legally entitled to receive from a driver who is not insured or isn’t enough to reimburse you for damages they caused.
Medical benefits
Helps pay necessary expense for medical and funeral services provided to you and your passengers as a result of an accident.
Personal injury protection (PIP)
Reimburses a portion of wage loss, medical expenses and essential services incurred as a result of an accident to eligible injured parties (i.e., passengers or pedestrians).
- Additional personal injury protection benefits are available when covered expenses exceed the limits of PIP.
