Uninsured motorist coverage is used when the at-fault driver can’t pay due to a lack of insurance.
Underinsured motorist coverage is used when the driver’s liability limits are lower than the costs of the accident.
Excess uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is used when an auto policy’s UM/UIM limits have been exhausted.
