- Read your policy; if it does not state explicitly that the
- uninsured/underinsured motorist part covers damage to the car
- ask your insurance agent to put what he said in writing
- (and expect to see a lot of hesitation from his/her part).

- Not always. You should read the policy to make sure what the
- uninsured/underinsured motorist part covers. I can tell you that
- in my case it does *not* cover property damage. Of course,
- other policies may provide different coverage under that part.
