Uninsured motorist coverage provides insurance coverage when you are hit by a person who has no insurance coverage. You uninsured motorist coverage will take the place of the insurance that the other person did not have and will cover your damages just like theirs should have if they had it. The only difference is that you will have a small deductible for property damage coverage.
Underinsurer or uninsured Property damage coverage pays for damage to your vehicle if another vehicle is at fault for the accident but is uninsured or underinsured.
An Uninsured car has no insurance. Your liability coverage may follow you to it if it is a replacement vehicle but would not cover damage to the uninsured vehicle.
no, uninsured motorist coverage is for injuries only when an uninsured motorist hurts the occupants of a vehicle......there is a coverage called uninsured motorist property damage, (most people do not have this and are even unaware that it is available, and is not available in all state) if you have that or collision coverage those will cover the damage to your vehicle ........

absolutely.
Talk to your state legislature about this one. The state minimum coverage is designed to eliminate uninsured drivers but it doesn't do that does it. Most states only require that you carry liability coverage so that if you hit someone else then their vehicle and damages are covered but not yours. You are responsible to carry coverage to protect your vehicle, assets, and bodily injury.
The California Collision Deductible Waiver (CDW) is coverage which waives your collision deductible if you are hit by a negligent uninsured motorist. The CDW option with a personal auto insurance policy in California pays your collision deductible when you carry collision coverage on a vehicle that is damaged by an uninsured or hit-and-run motorist who is at fault. Coverage typically applies only when there is actual physical contact and when you can identify the uninsured driver or vehicle. Some insurance companies will not even talk about the coverage even if it is included in your policy until you bring it to their attention.
It is not a mandatory coverage. However, you have no bodily injury coverage if you are injured by an uninsured motorist.
There's a good chance the insurance company will deny the claim of the person with the uninsured vehicle, as that vehicle isn't supposed to be on the roadway to begin with.
Collision insurance will cover the damages to your vehicle- no matter who is at fault. Uninsured coverage is used if the other vehicle is at fault for the accident and you and/or anyone in your car is injured. This coverage will typically pay for related medical bills, loss wages, and general damages (i.e pain and suffering). Liability = Other vehicle damage Injuries to driver/passenger in other vehicle Injuries to passengers in your vehicle if you are at fault Collision/Comprehensive = Cover damages to your car Uninsured/Under-insured = Injuries to you or your passengers when another vehicle is at fault and does not have insurance or has minimum coverage
You do not have to purchase full coverage auto insurance in Illinois if your vehicle is paid for. You do still need Bodily Injury Liability, Property Damage Liability, and Uninsured Motorist coverage.
depends on your definition of lease........if you rent a car to go on vacation for a week or so.....that is a ''temp replacement vehicle'' and would be covered.....non owned auto means, you have ins. on your vehicle you borrow mine that is uninsured for whatever reason, or just has liability but your vehicle has 'full coverage' you get in accident driving my uninsured vehicle.....(if no coverage on my vehicle now only)......then your policy will kick in.......a leased vehicle needs to have it's own policy just as if you purchased a new vehicle
