Mistakes Made by People in Accidents in Florida – Mistake Number 21 – Not Purchasing Uninsured Motorist Coverage (also Underinsured Motorist Coverage)

This is not something that you can do AFTER an accident. Obviously, you never know when you are going to be in an accident. There are many uninsured or underinsured motorists in Florida. By purchasing uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your car in Florida, you will be protected if you, a resident relative, or someone occupying your vehicle is in an accident where they are not at fault but the person who is at fault has 1) no insurance, 2) not enough insurance, or 3) if there is a hit and run scenario. As an attorney that handles cases in Florida, I have seen many cases where my clients wish they had purchased uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (called UM or UIM coverage). Once you are in an accident, it is too late as the insurance has to be in effect at the time of the accident.
