What is the name of your state? New York
While reviewing my auto insurance policy, I decided to raise my coverage from a 100/300 to 250/500 for bodily injury.
I also want to ensure if I am injured in an accident by an uninsured motorist or a driver with low coverage, that I will be financially protected.
When I asked my agent about increasing my SUM (currently its at 50/100), they were pretty adament that it wasn't needed, which doesn't seem right.
So, my question to our esteemed panel....
Am I correct in thinking that raising my SUM coverage would be a good idea to protect myself financially should another's policy fail to cover my expenses?
Is the agent discouraging this additional coverage because of the potential increase in payout, is that a norm? (Just a guess)
