What is the purpose of Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage?

To cover property damage only
To provide liability coverage for the insured
To pay for injuries caused in special circumstances
To cover uninsured drivers who cause accidents

The correct answer is: To cover uninsured drivers who cause accidents

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is designed specifically to protect individuals when they are involved in accidents with drivers who either do not have insurance or do not have enough insurance to cover the damages resulting from the accident. This type of coverage steps in when the at-fault driver lacks the financial means to pay for the injuries or damages that they have caused, thus offering an essential safety net for individuals who might otherwise struggle to recover costs related to medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages associated with an accident. In essence, this coverage is crucial for ensuring that insured individuals can access compensation for their injuries and losses, even when the responsible party is not adequately insured. It helps to level the playing field and provides a means of protection against the risks posed by uninsured or inadequately insured motorists on the road.
