Uninsured motorist coverage pays your medical bills and lost wages when an at-fault driver has no insurance. Roughly one in eight US drivers is uninsured, making this coverage important to carry.
Pays your medical bills and lost wages when an at-fault driver carries no insurance. Roughly one in eight US drivers is uninsured. Example: an uninsured driver runs a red light and breaks your collarbone. UM pays your $35,000 hospital bill and three weeks of lost income. Without UM, you would be chasing a likely-judgment-proof driver in court.
