Driver A has a personal auto policy with Part C: UM/UIM limits of 100/300. He is injured by
Driver B who has Part A: Bodily Injury Liability limits of 50/100. It is determined that Driver B is
at fault for the accident. Driver A has $125,000 in medical expenses. How much will his Part C:
UM/UIM coverage pay?
a) $125,000
b) $75,000
c) $50,000

the difference between the insured's UIM limits and the at-fault driver's bodily injury limits (in this
scenario, $100,000 of the insured's coverage minus $50,000 of the other driver's). Because of
the per person limits of Driver A's underinsured motorist coverage, the policy will pay the
amount necessary to bring payment up to the per person limit. The policy will not pay more than
the limits of liability.
