UIM or Underinsured Motorist coverage is a special type of auto insurance. According to some sources, as many as 2 out of every 7 drivers is only insured up to the “state minimum” level of coverage.

All too often, people just don’t think about their policy until after they’ve been in accident. Making sure that you have enough coverage before you drive is just the responsible thing to do.
This is probably a lot less “shareable” than the two other videos. We think it deserves a spot in our list of three particularly stunning UIM videos for one simple reason. It’s complex.
After an auto accident, there are a lot of difficult decisions that need to be made very quickly.
