Every driver who has a vehicle registered in Colorado is required to have a minimum amount of auto insurance. A great number of drivers choose to have the barest minimum of coverage. Unfortunately, for those who share the road, if you are in a collision with an underinsured or uninsured driver, you are in trouble, as the driver either has no money, and no coverage, or the coverage is so minimal that it won't come close to paying for the damages in your case.

At the time when you buy insurance for your vehicle, under state law you must be offered uninsured motorist coverage. Although you are not required to purchase this insurance, making the decision to do so is advised. There are a great number of uninsured drivers on the streets, roads and highways throughout the state. Another fact is that drivers that are violating the law and uninsured, are also far more likely to get in an accident, or to flee the scene if a collision occurs. Your uninsured motorist coverage could be a lifesaver if you happen to have been driving in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
