FAQ
The amount of your UMPD deductible will vary based on your state. It usually falls in between $100-$1,000. Note that some states may have a separate deductible for hit-and-run claims.
Policy limits: Uninsured motorist coverage comes with limits, just like other insurance coverages. Severe accidents might exceed these limits, leaving you with uncovered expenses. Claim disputes: There might be disputes over the extent of your coverage and the amount you can claim, leading to potential legal battles.
There are two types of UM/UIM coverage: Bodily Injury – This covers medical bills, lost wages, physical pain, disfigurement, and permanent or partial disability. Property Damage – This covers auto repairs, a rental car, and damage to items in your car, such as a car seat or GPS device.
If a driver hits your vehicle and flees, you can file a claim against your policy's uninsured motorist coverage. However, in some states, uninsured motorist coverage for property damage (UMPD) will not cover hit-and-run incidents.
Texas law requires you to have at least $30,000 of coverage for injuries per person, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for property damage. This is called 30/60/25 coverage.
Without uninsured motorist coverage, if you're injured or your vehicle is damaged in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you could end up paying for medical bills or vehicle repairs out of your own pocket.
Liability is required by your state to legally drive on the road. Uninsured motorist coverage covers you and your passengers' medical bills if you are hit by another driver that does not have insurance. There is no such thing as "full coverage" but people normally use that term to describe comprehensive and collision.
While jail is not a penalty for no insurance in Texas, you face hefty fines. You also become subject to financial responsibility laws. If you're charged with failing to file proof of financial responsibility, then you could face jail time.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Protects you when the accident is caused by someone without insurance. Covers medical expenses and vehicle repairs. Collision Coverage: Pays for your car repairs no matter who's at fault. Usually comes with a deductible.
