QuestionInsurance Question  Should you purchase uninsured/underinsured motorists and medical payments on a trailer that you haul behind a truck that is insured for liability, uninsured/underinsured motorists, medical payments and physical damage (comprehensive and collision). My understanding is that the liability of the truck hauling the trailer will extend to cover the trailer for liability. But what about uninsured/underinsured motorist and medical payments?

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

You should always purchase as much insurance as you can afford. However, I do not see where you can purchase 'uninsured/underinsured motorist' coverage nor 'medical payments' for your trailer. In fact, these coverages offer medical coverage for people in your own vehicle. 'Uninsured/underinsured motorist' coverage will only apply if the other party is at fault in the accident. 'Medical payments' will extend to its coverage for the named insured and family members if they are pedestrians struck by motor vehicles (that are designed for use mainly on public roads) or any type of trailer equipment. In fact, with 'medical payments,' there is no coverage for injuries while occupying an auto for business purposes, other than a private passenger auto, owned pickup or van, or a trailer used with one of these.
