A recession was the consensus view among experts, almost a foregone conclusion. With inflation surging to 9% last summer and the Fed aggressively raising interest rates, it was an easy story to sell…and believe. Fast forward to the present.

Car accidents are inevitable, no matter how carefully you drive. Most of us have been taught to drive defensively – make sure to look out for the other driver to anticipate a dangerous situation and hopefully prevent a potential accident. That can be true of auto insurance policies, as well. We all have car insurance if we own a car, but some drivers may be underinsured, or even uninsured. What if you get into an accident with an uninsured driver or a driver who has only $25,000 in insurance, what happens to the driver who is properly insured and/or has umbrella insurance?
