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
