In every state that I've lived, my ins co (Liberty Mututal) has _always_ had an option to deal with uninsured/underinsured drivers hitting me. It is worth the few extra $$s, as I was once rear-ended at a stop light by a pot head doing 65MPH. No insurance, totaled both cars, almost totaled me (I got a new face - the shoulder belt tore out of the doorpost.) She tried to sue me for her damages yet! The large sum that was payed out by my insurance to me more than made up the few $ the rider cost. If you don't have this rider, i strongly suggest you get it put on your policy **today**. -- Opinions expressed are public domain, and do not belong to Lotus Development Corp. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Simcha-Yitzchak Lerner {genrad|ihnp4|ima}!wjh12!talcott!sesame!slerner {cbosgd|harvard}!talcott!sesame!slerner slerner%sesame@harvard.ARPA
