A study cited in the recent Tennessee Supreme Court decision in Starr v. Hill underscores the importance of obtaining uninsured motorist coverage. The court noted that "many drivers in our state simply disregard the requirements of the Financial Responsibility Law and fail to obtain car liability insurance." The court noted that one study showed that 21.2 percent of drivers in Tennessee are uninsured, compared to the national average of 14.6 percent. Uninsured motorist coverage can provide a means of recovery if the at-fault driver is uninsured or does not have adequate insurance coverage.
