Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is mandatory in the state of Virginia.
This coverage pays for medical expenses, lost wages, and other general damages
when policyholders, authorized drivers, or passengers are injured in an accident
caused by a driver who has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Uninsured/underinsured
motorist coverage may also pay for injuries sustained in hit-and-run accidents.
If the other driver is uninsured, this coverage generally pays up to the limit you
purchase. If the driver is underinsured, this coverage typically pays any difference
between what the other driver's insurance covers and what your bodily injury coverage will pay.
The dual coverage limits refer to the maximum amounts that will be paid per person, per
accident, respectively. If the limits you purchase are lower than an accident's costs,
you will be responsible for paying the amount over your limits, unless you are covered by
health insurance.
When you select your limits, please note that, if you are insuring multiple vehicles, you
must carry the same uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury limits on each car.
Limits for this coverage cannot exceed the limits you select for bodily injury coverage.
