What is Uninsured Motorist Insurance?
There are estimates that one out of every six to seven drivers you see on California roads and freeways is driving without insurance. Uninsured Motorist insurance is additional car insurance which you can tell your insurance agent to add to your basic automobile liability policy. When you are hit by a driver with no car insurance then your own insurance company becomes the insurance company of that person for that one accident.
You should not be afraid that your own insurance company will raise your rates or cancel your insurance if you ever make such a claim. Since you were not at fault for the accident and you paid to have the Uninsured Motorist coverage, your insurance company will usually handle you claim with no problems for you.

What is Under Insured Motorist Insurance?
Under Insured Motorist coverage covers you for the difference between the maximum amount of insurance of the driver at fault and the amount of Uninsured Motorist coverage which you buy. For example, you have $30,000.00 Uninsured Motorist coverage on your car policy. The person who caused the accident only had $15,000.00 in liability insurance but your claim is worth $30,000.00. You can first collect $15,000.00 from the person who caused the accident.
Then you can claim the additional $15,000.00 from your own insurance company as an Under Insured Motorist claim. The second part of such a claim is called an Under Insured Motorist claim because the person who caused the accident was insured but was under insured by not having enough insurance to pay the full value of your claim.
