Understanding Missouri’s Insurance Gap

Missouri law requires drivers to carry a minimum of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily-injury liability coverage under RSMo § 379.203, thresholds that have not kept pace with the rising cost of trauma care, which can exceed $150,000 for a single serious injury hospitalization. The Horn Law Firm’s litigation team is equipped for cases where the at-fault driver’s policy is exhausted long before a client’s medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs are covered. Many Kansas City area drivers either let their policies lapse or carry only the state minimum. When the at-fault driver has no coverage, a victim’s UM policy may step in; when coverage proves insufficient, underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage may bridge the gap if the victim thought to purchase it. As medical costs rise and minimum limits remain static, the gap between what insurance pays and what a serious injury actually costs continues to widen. The law sets the floor; real protection requires building well above it. For more information, visit their blog https://hornlaw.com/blog/
