In this episode you will learn: - Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver has no insurance or is a hit-and-run driver. - Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage is triggered when the at-fault driver has insurance, but not enough to cover your bodily injury damages. - The primary focus of UM/UIM coverage on the exam is bodily injury (medical bills, lost wages), not property damage to your vehicle. - UM/UIM is first-party coverage that protects you, the insured, whereas liability coverage protects the at-fault driver by paying for damages to others. - A key exam trap is the UIM payout calculation; it typically pays the difference between your total damages and the at-fault driver's liability payment, up to your UIM policy limit.
