Q: Will my insurance premium rates go up if I make a claim against an uninsured driver or motorist?

A: No. It is against the law in Virginia for your insurance company to raise your monthly insurance rate if you file an uninsured or underinsured driver claim. It is in your best interest to have the highest unisured motorist coverage you can get. It is very inexpensive to get more coverage and it could make a huge difference to you one day.

A car accident or truck wreck can leave you with thousands of dollars in medical bills and if the person who hit you has no insurance then you could be stuck with the hassle of paying an enormous bill.

Ask your insurance company about the coast of higher uninsured motorist coverage and get more than the minimum. The insurance company won't tell you about it unless you ask, because it doesn't help them if you carry more.
