Jeffrey Meldon Tip:  Beware, even if you are completely innocent in an accident, not at fault, you can still get stuck with thousands or even hundreds of thousands worth of medical bills, loss of income, and a permanent injury that can devastate your life!

 Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM) will protect you if the at-fault party in an accident has little or no liability insurance and your case is worth more than the amount of insurance the other person has.  For example: If you have $100,000 of medical bills and lost wages, and the person that caused the accident has no insurance other than the minimum required insurance ($10,000 to pay for the other person’s car damage and $10,000 PIP to cover their own medical bills and lost wages), or even none at all.  Over 50% of drivers on the road in Florida have little, only the legaly required minimal insurance or  non at all!   Then you may have to come up with $90,000 out of your own pocket to cover your medical bills and lost wages, unless you have PIP plus $90,000 of UM insurance coverage.

 Jeffrey Meldon Tip:  If you have two or more vehicles on the same insurance policy you are eligible to get additional UM or “stacked coverage” at a very low cost if you have Bodily Injury on them.

 Jeffrey Meldon Tip:   I recommend that everyone on the road should purchase Uninsured Motorist Coverage in the amount of $100,000/$300,000 to be protected.

 Here are some additional Tips:

        ***Avoid the so called “low cost”, “we insure everyone” insurance companies and get competitive pricing from the major companies.

        ***UM insurance is the best deal going considering that 50% of drivers have little or no insurance.  I have personally seen many serious injury cases where there is no available insurance and the person is just out of luck.
