Involved in a hit and run accident? Driver doesn’t have insurance? Medical bills more than the policy limit? In today’s blog, I’m going to tell you why uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance is so important.
What is Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Insurance?
Car accidents involving personal injuries can be a nightmare. Worse is when the driver speeds away, doesn’t have any insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover your money damages. Did you know that state law in RI requires a tiny amount of BI coverage – just $25,000.00? Along with the pain of personal injury comes the confusion of who’s going to cover the bills.
Uninsured motorist coverage (“UM”) on your auto insurance policy provides you with financial protection when another driver does not have coverage and/or has left the scene, such as a hit and run car accident.
Underinsured motorist insurance (“UIM”) provides coverage to you when your monetary damages exceed the policy limits of the at-fault driver’s bodily injury (“BI”) coverage. In Rhode Island, for example, your UIM coverage “stacks” on top of the BI limits to provide you with extra compensation. Note that the law is different in Massachusetts where we also practice personal injury law.
