Difference between uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage?
UIM is UnderInsured Motorist coverage and would be available when the damages to -your vehicle exceed the amount of coverage in effect on the at fault party’s liability coverage. This is an important coverage to have; very few state minimum liability limits are adequate anymore to offer full protection to owners. Rising auto costs and auto parts costs, plus the lower threshold to declare a total loss make higher UIM limits a sound decision.
