FAQ
Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury Coverage (UM) – Covers you for your bodily injury caused by a hit-and-run driver or an at-fault driver who has no auto liability insurance. Currently, Illinois uninsured motorist bodily injury minimum limits are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.
Uninsured motorist policies may provide for a two-year limitations period for an insured to demand arbitration or file suit against the insurer. However, this two-year period may be tolled from the time when an insured makes a claim until the claim is denied.
Policy limits: Uninsured motorist coverage comes with limits, just like other insurance coverages. Severe accidents might exceed these limits, leaving you with uncovered expenses. Claim disputes: There might be disputes over the extent of your coverage and the amount you can claim, leading to potential legal battles.

Illinois requires all drivers to have UM coverage as part of their auto insurance policy, with minimum limits of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. If the driver who hit you is uninsured or if you don't know their identity, you can file an insurance claim with your provider using your UM coverage.
If you have to recover from your own insurance, your insurer may go after the person at fault directly to be reimbursed. This is known as subrogation. You will be notified if your insurer subrogates the claim and you may need to cooperate with the situation. You can be ticketed and fined for lack of coverage.
There are several types of uninsured motorist coverage, but all of them are added to your own vehicle insurance. Unfortunately, because so many drivers fail to carry insurance or only have the minimum liability insurance, additional insurance can be very expensive.
In Illinois, insurance follows the vehicle. If your friend loaned you a car, their insurer would be responsible for any accidents that happen in that vehicle – even if you were driving. If you have permission to use the car, the owner will be responsible.
