Is that a mandatory insurance that you have to have if it’s required, or is that an elective?
Steven Gacovino – Personal Injury Attorney – Suffolk County (Long Island), New York
There’s a mandatory minimum of $25,000 per injury, $50,000 in the aggregate, meaning that if you had multiple parties in the car, it could never exceed $50,000. So, we call it a 25/50 policy, so that’s the minimum supplemental uninsured, underinsured motorist coverage that one can have, you have the option of bringing it up to the level that you’re insuring other people for. So, if you have a 100, 300 policy, you can bring your SUM or your supplemental uninsured, underinsured motorist coverage up to that same level of 100, 300.
