Many drivers don’t realize how important uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can be until after an accident. In this video, attorneys Brent Stewart and Elizabeth VonCannon of Stewart Law Offices discuss common pitfalls that can prevent people from getting the coverage they expect — and how to avoid them.
One of the biggest issues is that uninsured and underinsured coverage is not mandatory in every situation. In South Carolina, insurance companies must offer underinsured coverage, but if you sign paperwork rejecting it, you will not be able to go back and add it after an accident. Another major factor is honesty: failing to list all licensed drivers in your household, especially teenage children, could void parts of your policy when you need it most.
The attorneys also explain how claims may work in real-world situations. If you cause an accident and your family is injured as passengers, they may still bring a claim under your policy. However, if the incident involves an unavoidable accident, such as hitting a deer without negligence, liability coverage may not apply. On the other hand, if distraction or negligence contributes to the accident, then claims could be made.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage can be complicated, but it exists to protect you and your family. Understanding these details ensures you’re not left without support when an unexpected accident happens.
