Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist
Claims
When a negligent person’s motor
vehicle injures or kills someone
but the negligent person’s vehicle
does not have insurance or does not
have enough insurance coverage to
pay for the injuries and/or death
and damages, a claim can be made
against your own motor vehicle insurance
company under the uninsured or underinsured
motor vehicle coverage.
 Although uninsured motorist
coverage is mandatory in Missouri
with minimal limits of $25,000.00,
underinsured motorist
coverage is not mandatory.
Consequently,
we suggest checking with your insurance
agent about obtaining this coverage
- which is usually rather inexpensive
- and increasing the limits of uninsured motorist
coverage.
