one out of three drivers in Florida only have the mini-
mum required coverage. It is important that you be
fully protected in the event one of those drivers
injures you due to a rear-end collision or other acci-
dent which is not your fault.
Therefore, it is extremely important that you prop-
erly protect yourself by carrying a maximum amount
of uninsured motorist coverage (U.M.). I recommend
at least $100,000 per person/$300,000 per occur-
rence for each vehicle in your household. If you
have more than one vehicle, I strongly recommend
“stacking”, which allows you to combine your cover-
age on each of your cars. Stacking is well worth the
small additional premium.
Your U.M. coverage also stands for underinsured
motorist coverage. This means that you can make a
claim against the other driver’s insurance and get the
total amount available under that policy and still
make an additional claim under your U.M. coverage
if your injury justifies it.
During my forty years of handling personal injury
cases, I have often had to turn people away who
were seriously injured through no fault of their own
but did not have U.M. coverage and where the negli-
gent party did not have bodily injury liability cover-
age. Trying to go after an individual driver in Florida
is an exercise in futility since it will be virtually impos-
sible to collect even if you go to trial and get a judg-
ment against that person
