What is Uninsured Motorist Coverage?

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is insurance that you may carry on your motor vehicle insurance policy or other umbrella-type policy. The coverage is designed to reimburse you for the costs of your injuries or losses if you are injured by a driver who does not have insurance. This also includes hit-and-run accident cases where you do not know the identity of the driver who caused the damage.

What is Underinsured Driver Coverage?

Serious injuries sustained in a car accident can be very costly. Even if the other driver had some insurance, it may not be enough to cover the full amount of your medical bills and other losses. If your injury claim is not fully covered, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company to pay the additional amounts, up to the limits of your own policy.
