for bodily injury liability and $10,000 per accident for
property
damage liability is required by Connecticut law. The minimum
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage amount required
by
law is $20,000 per person, $40,000 per accident. Uninsured/underinsured
motorist coverage covers bodily injury to you and your passengers
if they are injured in an accident caused by an uninsured
motorist, a motorist whose bodily injury liability limits
are less than your uninsured/underinsured motorist limits
or a hit-and-run driver. The Connecticut Insurance Department
strongly urges drivers to consider purchasing higher limits
of coverage.
