Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a claim if I never find the driver?
You may have an uninsured motorist claim if your policy includes UM and you complied with notice and cooperation clauses—policy wording matters.
What is a phantom vehicle claim?
Some UM policies cover scenarios where another vehicle forces you off the road without contact—strict proof and prompt reporting are usually required.
