I added uninsured motorist recently. It doesn't help with the car, but it from what I understand doubles what they will payout in medical bills.
(I got my cobra after an unlicensed, uninsured, drunk driver totalled out my Jeep.)

I keep considering calling state farm and asking what else I can add, I already lowered it to a $250 deductible.

UnInsured Motorist carries limits like Liability, limits are per person/total per accident. So $50k/100k would pay out up to $50k if someone uninsured hit you and sent you to the hospital for life saving surgery or a concussion and no one else was injured. If 3 people were injured then the $100k is split evenly depending on whats needed.

UnderInsured Motorist does the same but carries the balance in excess of the at faults insurance policy limits.

A lot of people dont know that UM/UIM coverage follows you not your car. It covers you away from the vehicle like walking down the street or in a parking lot and you get hit.

Some states allow you to add UM/UIM Property Damage which would help fix your car
