What Does Uninsured Motorist Coverage Include?

A complete auto policy combines several coverage types. Mix and match based on your state requirements, budget, and how you use your vehicle.

Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury (UMBI)

Covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering when an uninsured driver injures you or your passengers.

Uninsured Motorist Property Damage (UMPD)

Pays to repair or replace your vehicle when an uninsured driver damages it. Available in most states.

Underinsured Motorist (UIM)

Kicks in when the at-fault driver's liability limits aren't sufficient to cover your full damages. UIM pays the difference up to your coverage limit.

Stacked Coverage

In states that allow stacking, you can multiply your UM/UIM limits across multiple vehicles on your policy for greater per-accident protection.

Hit-and-Run Protection

Many states allow UM bodily injury to cover hit-and-run accidents where the responsible driver cannot be identified.

Medical and Legal Cost Coverage

UM/UIM can cover hospital bills, rehabilitation, legal fees, and long-term care expenses that exceed what the at-fault driver can pay.

Why VKOVR for UM/UIM Coverage?

Gap in Every State

1 in 8 drivers is uninsured — and many more carry only state minimums that won't cover serious accident costs. UM/UIM closes that gap.

State-Specific UM Requirements

About 22 states require uninsured motorist coverage. VKOVR knows your state's rules and ensures you carry the correct limits and coverage types.

Stacking Analysis

Where permitted, stacked UM/UIM can multiply your protection at a modest additional cost. VKOVR evaluates whether stacking makes sense for your household.

Coordinated with Your Other Coverage

UM/UIM works alongside your health insurance, MedPay, and PIP. VKOVR ensures the coverages complement each other without unnecessary overlap.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage FAQ

Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage pays for your medical expenses and property damage when you are hit by a driver who has no insurance. Without UM coverage, you would need to sue the uninsured driver personally — often a fruitless effort since most uninsured drivers cannot pay substantial judgments.
