The big auto insurance companies fighting to get your business love to tell you about the savings you'll enjoy going with one insurance company over another. While paying as little as possible may be a good strategy when picking out your cable or internet package, it is important to remember that your auto insurance policy is not solely for the purpose of meeting minimum coverage state laws. Much more importantly, it is an investment to protect you in the event you are in an accident resulting in injury or death to you, your passengers, and others on the road.
Some statistics indicate that as many as one out of every three drivers is uninsured or inadequately insured. So, how can you protect yourself if you are struck by another driver that has no insurance coverage, or minimum insurance coverage? Be proactive, and make sure part of your insurance policy includes uninsured motorist coverage (UM) and underinsured motorist coverage (UIM). By law, your auto insurance company is required include uninsured motorist coverage as part of every automobile policy written, unless you specifically decline it in writing.
