Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Missouri's 25/50/25 minimum leaves senior drivers dangerously underprotected—a single serious injury claim can exceed $25,000 in the first week of treatment. Drivers with home equity or retirement savings should carry $100,000/$300,000 minimum to protect assets from lawsuits.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
With 14% of Missouri drivers uninsured, this coverage protects you when an at-fault driver can't pay for your injuries or vehicle damage. It's especially critical for senior drivers since Medicare doesn't cover auto accident injuries until other coverage is exhausted.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage including Missouri's frequent hail storms, deer strikes, and vehicle theft. For senior drivers with paid-off vehicles worth under $4,000, annual premiums plus deductible may exceed potential payout.
Collision Coverage
Pays for your vehicle damage in accidents regardless of fault. Senior drivers should calculate whether annual premium plus deductible exceeds their vehicle's actual value—for many retirees with older paid-off cars, this coverage isn't cost-justified.
Medical Payments Coverage
Covers medical expenses for you and passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. For Missouri seniors on Medicare, this coverage fills gaps during the immediate post-accident period before Medicare coordination of benefits is established.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage. For senior drivers with vehicles worth less than $5,000 and no loan, dropping comprehensive and collision while maintaining high liability limits often provides better financial protection.
