Kevin: And that's why there's another form of insurance that's extremely important for you to consider when you're purchasing your auto insurance, and it's called uninsured motorist. And the reason that's important is because there's so many drivers out there who just don't have enough insurance if that happens to be the person that you end up getting into an accident with. Even if it's their fault, if they don't have very much insurance. you could still incur a massive medical bill. You could still incur significant bodily injury. Those expenses still need to be paid.
Frank: As a matter of fact, there was an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that said that they expect uninsured motorists to go up as the economy does poorly because people can't afford their insurance. if it's food, housing, or auto insurance, auto insurance is at the bottom of the list.
Kevin: right. It's unfortunate you have to even consider buying insurance to protect yourself from the actions of others, but that's just the way it is because the limits in Florida are so low, you just don't have any control over how much money's going to be available to you if you actually do get hurt. It's extremely important that you review your auto insurance with your agent so that you feel comfortable with the limits that you have, and you can also see how inexpensive it might be to significantly increase these limits. Significant increases might not cost all that much.
Frank: We had a guy who was a passenger in a car, a car crossed the median, hit him, broke his neck. Father, engineer, family of three. He was out for a year, and I think that claim was $250,000.
Kevin: $250,000. And it's extremely important that you know exactly the insurance that you have if you cause the accident as well as the insurance that you can have if somebody else causes the accident to you so that when the worst happens, whether it's caused by you or caused by someone else, you know that there's going to be enough insurance there to help you pay the bill.
Frank: And think about it. every night you watch the news, there's always an accident. it's not something that's random like a hurricane, once every five years. There's auto accidents, people get hurt every day. Nobody does it on purpose. It's an accident. So, in case it happens to you, you want to make sure you have the right coverage.
Kevin: Absolutely. Call your agent and ask for a review of your auto insurance policy today.
