Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury
In Illinois, you must have uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury on your auto insurance policy and if you want it to apply to multiple cars, you must select the same limit for each car. Also, the limits you choose must be less than, or equal to, your bodily injury limits.

If you’re injured in an accident caused by a driver who has no auto insurance coverage, uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage covers the following expenses:

• Medical
• Lost wages
• Other general damages
• Injuries sustained in hit-and-run accidents

Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury provides coverage to the policyholder, authorized policy members, and passengers.

How much protection does this coverage provide?
The dual coverage limits you see in your Illinois auto insurance quote refer to the maximum amount that will be paid per person, per incident, respectively.

If the other driver is uninsured, this auto insurance coverage can generally pay up to the limit you purchase. If the driver is underinsured, this coverage typically pays the difference between what’s covered by the other driver's insurance and what’s covered by your bodily injury coverage.

If the limits you purchase are lower than an accident's costs, you’ll be responsible for paying the amount over your limits, unless you’re covered by health insurance.

Medical Payments
Medical payments is an optional auto insurance coverage that pays for medical and dental treatment, hospitalization, professional nursing services, prostheses, and funeral expenses if a covered driver and/or accompanying passengers are injured while in an insured vehicle, regardless of who is at fault in the accident.

Medical payments may also cover policyholders and their family members when they are injured while riding in someone else's car or if a car hits them while on foot or bicycling.

If you and your regular passengers already have health insurance that covers similar expenses, medical payments coverage may be unnecessary. Check your health insurance policy for details.

The coverage limit refers to the maximum amount that will be paid per person, per accident.
