Well then you may get nothing and deserve nothing. How can someone NOT carry this with so many drivers that don't give a shite about carrying insurance.

Uninsured motorist doesn't cover your vehicle for the 10th time in this thread.

She showed the trooper her insurance card and was not ticketed for no insurance.
However, her insurance refuses to repair my car, because her policy was under cancellation for non-payment at the time of the accident.



Happened to me before too...you will just need to file uninsured motorist claim. If you are in Houston, you would be foolish not to have UM coverage because half the drivers here have no insurance, much less a drivers license. Did I say Houston has a lot of illegals?? Thanks to our dumb arse president, Mr. Obozo!!

This is correct. The only UM coverage available in LA is UMBI (Uninsured Moorist Bodily Injury) which covers injuries sustained as a result of a collision with an uninsured/underinsured motorist.

If you have collision coverage on your vehicle the vehicle damage to your car is already covered if you collide with an uninsured/underinsured motorist.

The insurance adjuster for Farm Bureau said the damage done by his insured was greater than 75% of the vehicle's value. So, they took the damaged car and wrote me a check.

I purchased another car for her and made sure I had uninsured motorist insurance this time.

How good looking is this broad? If she's hot and all else fails, maybe you can take some out in trade. But only if all the money angles fail.

This thread reminded me to check on my coverage. It's a nice change going from LA to TN. I pay ~$450/ 6 months for two cars with Full 100/300 coverage including UMBI and UM property damage + rental reimbursement and roadside assistance.

This in LA (Baton Rouge) was running like over $1100 / 6 months for the same apples to apples coverage.

Um, no you just had UM for BI, property damage goes on your collision coverage. You can purchase UMPD if you reject collision coverage on vehicle.
