Kansas requires liability limits of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage. Policies also include personal injury protection and uninsured motorist coverage equal to the bodily injury limits unless higher amounts are rejected in writing.

Kansas requires non-agricultural employers with more than $20,000 in gross annual payroll to secure workers compensation coverage.
