What is Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM)? What does it cover?

We offer 2 types of Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury Coverage (UMBI): Helps provide protection for an accident with an uninsured at-fault driver. In some states, it can also cover a hit-and-run. This coverage pays for your injuries, up to your chosen limit.
Uninsured Motorist Property Damage Coverage (UMPD): Pays for your car's repairs if you're in a covered accident with someone with no insurance. It may not be available in all states.

Do I need UM Coverage if I have Collision Coverage?

You may need UM Coverage based on state law. Also, beyond extra protection, UM may also provide a low or no deductible. Please note, UMBI can help pay for injuries where Collision Coverage doesn't.

How much UM do I need?

The amount of coverage you need depends on your situation and your state requirements. You should get enough coverage to pay for damages and injuries if you're in an accident with someone who doesn't have insurance.
