Uninsured Motorist Exposure Rising Dramatically
Earlier this year the Insurance Research Council(IRC) reported that nationally 1 in 6 drivers were likely uninsured and rates of uninsured drivers approaches 1 in 3 in some states. The report noted a remarkable correlation between unemployment and being uninsured. Making this point even more clear recently, Robert Hartwig of the Insurance Information Institute (III) stated to the Insurance Council of Texas Insurance Symposium that the average driver could now be commuting with 1 in 5 drivers uninsured and 1 in 3 drivers in challenged economic areas! Adding to the concern is unemployment remains persistently high and it could go higher.
