Having the right auto insurance coverage is essential. Uninsured motorist coverage is vital to ensuring that you are protected in a collision with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
Auto insurance is mandatory in Florida (as in most of the US). However, the state only requires a minimum amount of coverage. The state does not mandate that you carry uninsured motorist coverage. However, it’s very important that you have this type of protection included on your insurance policy. Why is this? What is this type of protection?
What Happens If You’re Injured?
Every day, thousands of people in Florida are injured in automobile accidents. In most cases, the insurance companies pick up the tab here. However, what happens if you’re injured in an auto accident and the person who hit you doesn’t have insurance? What happens if their insurance coverage is not sufficient? In most instances, you’re on the hook for your medical bills, and you won’t see anything for pain and suffering through a personal injury case, regardless of how skilled your lawyer might be.

Gainesville has recently received negative publicity following a devastating pile up on I-75 that resulted in the death of ten people as well as the hospitalization of 18. This isolated incident is just one example of the increased rate of auto accidents in the area, and residents are desperately searching for answers as to why this is occurring.

In the case of the recent pile up, a mixture of smoke and fog prevented unsuspecting drivers from seeing the danger that was right ahead of them.
