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.
