What Is Uninsured Motorist Coverage Insurance?
Uninsured Motorist Coverage fills the gap when the driver who hits you has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries and vehicle damage. It functions as a backup liability policy—paying your medical bills, lost wages, and repair costs up to your policy limits when the at-fault driver cannot. The coverage applies to hit-and-run incidents where the driver flees, underinsured drivers whose limits are exhausted, and drivers operating illegally without any insurance at all.
Who Needs Uninsured Motorist Coverage Insurance?
Drivers reinstating a suspended license in Indiana should carry Uninsured Motorist Coverage because they cannot afford another financial disruption—a hit-and-run or collision with an uninsured driver could generate medical debt or repair costs that prevent maintaining the SR-22 filing or paying reinstatement fees. Drivers without collision or comprehensive coverage rely on Uninsured Motorist Property Damage to cover vehicle repairs when the at-fault driver has no insurance. Drivers in Marion, Lake, or Allen counties face higher uninsured driver rates and benefit from the added protection.
Skip it only if you carry comprehensive health and disability benefits and drive a vehicle worth less than your emergency fund balance.
