248 ReviewsWhat is Uninsured Motorist Coverage?
The uninsured motorist clause is a provision within an auto insurance policy that offers coverage to an insured driver and their passengers if they are involved in an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver. In no-fault states, where drivers are required to carry personal injury protection coverage, uninsured motorist coverage adds an extra layer of protection beyond medical expenses.
While no-fault insurance covers medical expenses regardless of who is at fault, it may not cover property damage or damages exceeding policy limits.
The uninsured motorist clause comes into play when the at-fault driver lacks insurance or their coverage is insufficient to fully compensate you. It can help cover property damage, medical bills, and even lost wages that surpass the limits of your own policy.
What Are the Benefits of UMC?
Financial protection. In the event of an accident involving an uninsured or underinsured driver, this coverage ensures that you’re not left financially burdened by the resulting damages.
Full compensation. Uninsured motorist coverage helps bridge the gap between the damages incurred and the coverage available from the at-fault driver’s insurance, if any.
Property damage. Beyond medical bills, this coverage may also include repairs or replacement costs for your vehicle.
Peace of mind. Knowing you’re protected from uninsured or underinsured drivers gives you peace of mind while navigating the roads.
