In some accidents involving uninsured motorists, your insurance company is responsible for paying your medical bills and other expenses. However, they will likely try as hard as possible to avoid paying a full and fair settlement, Insurance companies are experts at denying coverage by hiring experienced lawyers. They will intimidate and discourage you with convoluted rules and paperwork in hopes that you will give up your claim.

Uninsured/Underinsured Drivers and Car Accidents

Uninsured and underinsured automobile insurance coverage protects drivers involved in a car accident with someone who does not have enough insurance to cover the injuries and damage or who has no car insurance at all. It can also be used in a number of other scenarios as well.

Uninsured and underinsured automobile insurance coverage comes into play when:

  • You or someone covered by you is injured in an automobile accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver
  • You are involved in a hit and run
  • You are injured in a car accident through no fault of your own, but the other driver is uninsured or underinsured
  • Your or a loved one, as a pedestrian, is injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver
  • Your insurance company may require a signed statement from the uninsured driver stating he/she has no insurance. Then you can make a claim with your insurance company for your damages.

Under your insurance policy, uninsured motorist coverage allows you to receive compensation from your own insurance company. You won’t be out thousands of dollars to pay for your own hospital stays, prescriptions, doctor visits, or lost wages. And on the same note, underinsured coverage helps you when that other driver doesn’t have enough insurance to cover your costs. Maybe their insurance plan only covers $10,000 of your bills, but your injuries equal up to $100,000. How do you make up the rest of those costs? With underinsured motorist coverage.

How Much Coverage Should I Purchase?

Most automobile insurance companies offer a wide variety of coverage options when it comes to automobile insurance. Purchasing just the minimum coverage available is risky since the minimum coverage available may not be enough in the event of a serious injury car accident. It’s important when purchasing these types of insurance policies that you get a lot of coverage. These policies are in place to protect you in a bad situation and you need enough coverage to do that, no matter what the injuries are.
