- Maybe this is a dumb question... My employer provides me the medical
- coverage. If the Uninsured Motorist coverage covers only the medical
- expenses I guess I dont have to take it at all ...
-
- My insurance agent told me that if the other person doesnt
- have insurance the uninsured motorist coverage pays for the
- damage to my car if I meet with an accident !!!!!!!!!
-
- Is it true ? Am I paying for something that I dont need at all ?
