By the way, I might point out, both as a victim of an accident and as an
attorney who does some personal injury work, that Uninsured (underinsured)
Motorist is the THE MOST important one to carry high limits on. Its the one
that pays you when the other guy has little or no insurance. I broke both
my legs in an accident 20 years ago (they still hurt) before I went to law
school and learned my lesson. The bad guy had $10,000.00 in insurance. I
got $10k. If I had $100k uninsured motorist I woulda got his 10k plus
another 90k from my own company. Its extremely cheap (so they don't like to
sell it and you have to ask for high limits), also they won't sell a higher
limit than your liability, i.e. if you have 100/300 they'll only sell you
100k of UM.
I consider this so important I am going to include the list in my reply to
your private reply. I hope thats ok.

Thanks for the insight.
