Underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) and Uninsured motorist coverage (UM) act as a safeguard for drivers who are involved in an auto accident with another driver who either does not have enough coverage, or is uninsured. The State Minimum requires only $15,000 in liability coverage. Obviously, if you or a family member has a serious injury or lost future earnings or other serious economic losses, that probably will not cover your damages.
When you purchase an insurance plan with UIM and UM coverage, you are guaranteed some degree of compensation after an accident, even if the other motorist has no liability coverage. This means that your insurance company will cover any expenses that the uninsured at-fault driver’s insurance company would otherwise pay.
UIM and UM coverage are extremely important to the safety of you and your family. That coverage protects you and your family against everyone else's carelessness. When you purchase UIM and UM coverage, you are protected against financial setbacks such as medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses that you would otherwise incur if the at-fault driver was not insured.
This coverage is well worth the investment. If you have any questions or would like more information, feel free to contact us.
