Underinsured Motorist Coverage Picks Up Where Basic Leaves Off

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

Illinois state law requires every driver to carry a minimum of $20,000/$40,000 of underinsured motorist coverage. This coverage is in place to compensate car accident victims for their injuries in the event the at-fault driver was not carrying sufficient bodily injury liability insurance.If the at-fault driver in your car accident only had the basic coverage for BIL, your injuries will only be covered up to $20,000. After this, it’s up to your own underinsured motorist coverage limits to make up the difference. If you also chose a basic policy, your total coverage by the insurance companies will not exceed $40,000 for injuries.If you sustained serious injury in your car accident and need to seek compensation for expenses beyond what the car insurance offers, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit.
