Do I need uninsured motorist property damage coverage and collision coverage on my vehicle in Nebraska?
I'm finding conflicting information. Some carriers seem to allow me to have both uninsured motorist property damage and collision on a policy, and others don't. Some people have also recommended having both.
, specifically uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury. But you are not required by law to carry uninsured motorist property damage coverage.
However, it is beneficial to carry it. Should you be in an accident with an at-fault, uninsured driver, your insurance would cover the damage done to your vehicle up to your specified limit.
, any damage caused by a collision would be covered, even if you are at fault.
Some carriers don’t allow you to have both coverages on a policy, as they cover similar events. You can also be required to have uninsured motorist property damage on your policy if you don’t have collision coverage.
If your carrier does allow you to have both coverages and you can afford both, it can’t hurt to buy the extra coverage.
