Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that requires insurance companies to provide motorist policy benefits without covered individuals having to file lawsuits against them.

Highlights:

• Authorizes an insured individual to provide notice of a claim for uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage by giving written notification to the insurer that reasonably informs the insurer of the facts of the claim (Sec. 1).

• Specifies that a judgment or other legal determination establishing the other motorist’s liability or the extent of the insured’s damages is not a prerequisite to recovery (Sec. 1).
