In Michigan, underinsured motorist coverage is elective. It works like this: Let’s say that you have purchased a policy with the coverage and another driver hits you, causing serious injuries. If the losses you have incurred exceed the limits of the liability coverage of the other at-fault driver, you are eligible for additional compensation, up to the limits of your own underinsured motorist coverage.
The principle of underinsured motorist coverage is simple, though in practice it is not. If you have been in a serious car accident, you should speak with a personal injury attorney concerning your claim. You may be entitled to more compensation than you are offered by the insurance company of the at-fault driver, or by your own insurance company.
