Uninsured Motorist

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Insurance (UIM) is an important aspect of your auto insurance policy. This form of coverage protects you against the possibility of being injured by another driver with no or inadequate insurance to cover the accident related damages.

According to Wisconsin’s Financial Responsibility Law, all Wisconsin drivers must have a current auto insurance policy, effective June 1, 2010. Uninsured motorists (UM) insurance covers bodily injury caused by a hit and run or uninsured motorist. Wisconsin UM coverage also includes pedestrians hit in this situation.

UM coverage is designed to protect the injured person by ensuring the finance is available to pay for the losses caused by another. Minimum coverage amount is established by Wisconsin law.

It is wise to purchase more than the basic UM/UIM coverage. The Wisconsin UM coverage does not cover property damage to your vehicle, nor is the other driver protected by your UM coverage. The other driver involved in the accident may be sued by your insurer for monies paid to you when another driver was responsible for the accident.

Wisconsin Underinsured motorists (UIM) coverage is no longer mandatory (2011 Wisconsin Act 14) for policies renewed or issued beginning November 1, 2011. The law does provide, however, that insurers give notice that coverage is available upon delivery of the insurance policy.

While Wisconsin law provides for UM and UIM insurance protection, some drivers are not adequately covered. In the event of an accident, you may find that either you or the other vehicles involved are uninsured or underinsured.
