Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage in the State of Rhode Island and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is also in place to financially compensate medical injury from hit-and-run accidents. In both scenarios, the offending driver is held liable for their negligence and this does not go as an at-fault accident on your insurance. While uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage has grown in adoption through the years, there are unique, lesser-known instances where uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage applies and can protect you and your family.

You can file a claim against your uninsured/underinsured motorist automobile policy only in the State of Rhode Island.
