When purchasing liability insurance, you also have the option of purchasing
“uninsured/underinsured” motorist coverage. This insurance
provides you with insurance coverage in the event you are in an accident
with a driver that either (1) has no insurance or (2) has an insufficient
amount of insurance to cover your injuries.
I am commonly confronted with concern from my clients that they will be
penalized by their own insurance company for making an uninsured/underinsured
claim on their own policy, i.e., raised premium or being dropped from
coverage. Rest assured however, your insurance company is prohibited from
penalizing you simply for making an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim.
So, please never hesitate to make this claim.
