Wisconsin Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Wisconsin requires uninsured motorist coverage of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. Underinsured motorist coverage is handled differently: the insurer must give notice that UIM is available, and if the insured accepts it, the coverage must be written at limits of at least $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident.

  • Obtain the declarations page and all UM/UIM endorsements.
  • Identify who qualifies as an insured under each potentially applicable policy.
  • Determine whether UIM coverage was accepted or rejected after statutory notice.
  • Review offsets, priority and anti-stacking provisions under Wis. Stat. § 632.32.
