Understanding Florida UM Coverage – A Palm Beach Perspective
When a crash happens, sometimes the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance — or none at all. In Florida, Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage is your safety net. But understanding how it works, and how to make the most of it, can be confusing without an expert guide.
As The Dash Cam Lawyer, I’ve helped countless South Florida drivers navigate UM claims, using dash cam evidence and strategic legal support to maximize recoveries.
What Is Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage?
UM coverage protects you when:
- The at-fault driver has no insurance
- The at-fault driver has insufficient coverage for your medical bills or property damage
Even if you are fully insured, UM coverage is critical in Palm Beach County, where many accidents involve out-of-state drivers, rideshare vehicles, and hit-and-runs.
Dash cam footage plays a key role by:
- Proving who caused the accident
- Documenting the crash in real time
- Supporting your medical claim with context of impact
Why Dash Cam Evidence Strengthens UM Claims
Insurance companies often try to limit UM payouts, claiming unclear fault or exaggerated injuries. Video evidence changes the game. Dash cam footage can:
- Show the accident exactly as it happened
- Capture speed, impact, and vehicle movement
- Record statements made at the scene
- Identify fleeing or uninsured drivers
With clear, real-time evidence, UM claims become much stronger.

As The Dash Cam Lawyer, I combine decades of legal experience with tech-forward strategies to help clients navigate complex UM claims:
- Dash Cam Review & Case Assessment

- Ensure your injuries are properly documented for the claim

I’ve seen firsthand how dash cam evidence combined with legal strategy can turn a denied or minimized claim into a successful recovery.
Common Palm Beach UM Scenarios
UM coverage is often needed in cases like:
- Hit-and-run crashes on I-95, Southern Blvd, or Glades Rd
- Accidents with out-of-state drivers with no insurance
- Collisions with underinsured rideshare vehicles
- Rear-end or intersection crashes where the other driver is uninsured
In all these situations, real-time video evidence can be the deciding factor.
