Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

One aspect of auto insurance that Arizona drivers sometimes ask about is the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Arizona’s law requires every driver carry coverage for these types of drivers. To clarify: an uninsured driver is a driver with no auto insurance or whose insurance doesn’t currently include liability insurance. An underinsured driver has liability insurance, but the amount of their liability coverage isn’t enough to cover the injuries of you or your passengers. 

Although all Arizona drivers are required to carry liability insurance, not all drivers have liability insurance. You may be involved in a collision with a driver from another state or without current liability insurance. A recent estimate showed almost 13% of Arizona drivers are currently driving without insurance. If your car is hit by one of those cars, and the accident was the other driver’s fault, you need uninsured or underinsured coverage for your medical bills to be covered.

We will make sure you have the required coverage. 

What is basic auto insurance and is it right for me?

In Arizona, basic auto insurance is liability coverage. The amount required is 25/50/15. What that means is $25,000 for medical expenses for the first person hurt in an accident and $50,000 for all the injuries in that accident. $15,000 is for damage to property. While this may seem adequate, it can be very minimal when you consider what a hospital stay can cost these days. The cost of repainting a vehicle can also be much higher than $15,000 with vehicle prices averaging $47,000. You can see the problem. 

If you are leasing your vehicle or have a car loan, this basic amount will not be acceptable. You will need to protect the vehicle and that requires full coverage. Collision covers collisions and comprehensive covers lots of other things including theft, vandalism, flood, and damage from deer, just to name a few. 

After your car loan is paid off, you are not required to have full coverage. However, if you are like most people, you depend on your vehicle to do the normal activities of daily life. Many people live in areas where public transportation is not readily available. A vehicle is a necessity. If you have an accident where you are responsible or are the only driver, how would you pay to have your vehicle repaired? If it is a hardship, it is worth thinking about having collision and comprehensive coverage.
