If you drive in the state of Washington, you are legally required to have auto insurance. But what happens if someone who doesn’t carry auto insurance, despite the law, hits you and causes damage or injuries?<\/p>\n

What Happens If You’re Hit By an Uninsured Driver?<\/h2>\n

Some people recklessly drive without auto insurance. What would happen if your car were hit by an uninsured driver? Many auto insurance policies include uninsured motorist coverage. If your policy has this, it would cover the damage to your car, along with your policy’s collision coverage.<\/p>\n

In addition to damage caused by uninsured motorists, uninsured motorist coverage will help you pay for repairs if your car is damaged by a hit-and-run driver. Sometimes, the other driver may have insurance, but their policy doesn’t offer enough funds to cover your repairs. This is known as an underinsured driver, and the same coverage in your policy will help you repair your car.<\/p>\n
