  • b.$20,000 / $40,000 / $15,000
  • c.$25,000 / $50,000 / $15,000
  • d.$25,000 / $50,000 / $25,000

Kansas sets minimum liability of $25,000 for bodily injury to one person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage (25/50/25), per K.S.A. 40-3107 (the Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act / no-fault law). In addition, Kansas is a no-fault state, so the policy must also carry personal injury protection (PIP) benefits. Higher limits are available; confirm current figures with the Kansas Insurance Department.
