Uninsured Motorist Coverage for Senior Drivers

Uninsured Motorist Coverage pays for your injuries and damages when you're hit by a driver who has no insurance or not enough insurance to cover your losses. For senior drivers age 65 and older, this coverage becomes particularly important as medical costs from injuries tend to be higher and recovery takes longer.
