Thank you for asking.
The Arizona Department of Insurance states that Uninsured Motorist coverage protects you or passengers in your vehicle for bodily injury you or your passengers sustain in an accident involving a driver who has no liability coverage.
This may also protects you or passengers in your vehicle for bodily injury you or your passengers sustain in an accident involving a driver who has insufficient insurance to cover your injuries or your passengers.
Uninsured motorist coverage (or UM) provides coverage for your medical bills, loss of earnings and pain and suffering if you suffer injuries as a result of a negligent drivers who does not have liability insurance, including a hit-and-run motorist. Underinsured motorist coverage (or UIM) provides coverage situation that your damages exceed the other driver’s liability coverage.

Will Liability Car Insurance Cover Uninsured Motorist Damage
Reader’s Question:
I was hit by uninsured driver and I have a liability coverage on my car and uninsured motorist coverage. Will this cover the damage to my car?

Thank you for asking George.
In Arizona, uninsured motorist is for bodily damages. Typically an uninsured motorist (UMBI) in Arizona policy will typically pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by an uninsured motorist, hit and run driver or a miss and run driver.
In addition to that, uninsured motorist will pay for these coverages to you, and/or your family members who live with you and passengers in your car. The damages to your vehicle or other property will not be covered by this . You would need collision coverage on your car to get your property damage covered by your insurance provider.
Uninsured motorist property damage is not available in all states with including the state of Arizona. Only UM bodily injury is available so this must be the type of coverage that you have.
Goodluck!
