How Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims Work in California
Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is for collisions caused by a driver who does not have auto liability insurance or whose insurance does not fully cover the damages. The state of California requires the provision of uninsured motorist coverage for auto liability policies, although it can be voluntarily declined in writing.
Types of UM/UIM coverage available in California include the following:
- Uninsured motorist bodily injury
- Uninsured motorist property damage
- Underinsured motorist
To collect from a UM/UIM policy, you must have been struck by a vehicle. However, you do not need to be inside a vehicle for the coverage to apply; UM/UIM coverage is also available for pedestrians. You could be standing outside the car, looking under the hood, or pumping gas.
You may be eligible to recover uninsured or underinsured motorist compensation through your own insurance company. The key to recovering a settlement from a UM/UIM policy is establishing that the liable party either has no insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover the costs of your injuries.
California Drivers Are Required to Have Insurance
California requires all motorists to obtain car insurance before registering their vehicles. This regulation protects drivers from financial damage associated with car, truck, and motorcycle accidents.
State Minimums
California Insurance Code § 11580.1 stipulates that liability insurance must be provided, with policy amounts no lower than $15,000 for injuries or death of a single person, $30,000 for multiple persons’ injury or death expenses, and $5,000 for property damage coverage.
These are the minimum amounts required by law; however, drivers may need to secure more coverage as the above figures may not adequately cover all costs incurred during an accident.
Proof of Insurance
Drivers must provide proof of adequate auto insurance when registering their cars with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If they do not fulfill this requirement, the DMV will suspend their registration, and they will be prevented from legally driving the car on public roads.
Without insurance and proper documentation from the DMV, any motorist risks serious penalties when caught operating a vehicle on public roads in California. Unfortunately, many California drivers still allow their insurance to lapse after registering their vehicles.

Having uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage can be an important part of protecting yourself and your assets in the event of an accident. However, sometimes having this coverage is not enough.
For those unfortunate car accident victims in Sacramento who find themselves in this predicament, dealing with their insurers can be difficult and time-consuming. Insurance companies are in the business of making money and, as such, tend to fight for every penny they dole out.
Even if you’re the best customer your insurer has ever had, they could still challenge any claims you make or blame the other involved parties to avoid paying you. While insurance adjusters may seem friendly, they may not have your best interests at heart.
