Can our insurance company force us to carry greater uninsured motorist coverage?
My insurance company is requiring policyholders in Massachusetts to raise their uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to match their bodily injury coverage. Doing this would make my insurance more expensive. Do I have to do this?

“Matching your
uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
to your bodily injury liability
coverage is not a legal requirement in Massachusetts. However, insurance companies do have a right to choose what types of coverage their policyholders can select.If your insurance company is requiring policyholders to raise their limits, you will be required to do so to maintain insurance with them. The best thing you can do in this situation is shop around.
Request
car insurance quotes online
from multiple carriers. You should be able to find other carriers that will allow you to have the coverages you want at an affordable rate.“
