Auto loss type

What does a Uninsured / underinsured motorist (auto) claim mean on a CLUE report?

An uninsured motorist loss on a CLUE report means your own coverage paid after an uninsured or hit-and-run driver hit you — a not-at-fault claim.

Uninsured / underinsured motorist (auto) in plain English

Your own policy paid because you were hit by a driver with no (or not enough) insurance, or in a hit-and-run.

These are not-at-fault claims by definition; if a UM claim is making your history look at-fault, that's worth disputing or explaining.

CLUE disclosures and carrier feeds vary. Use this as a decoder aid, then verify the entry against your report, insurer records, and claim documents.

What to watch for

UM/UIM claims presented without their not-at-fault context.

  • Date of loss versus the report and order dates
  • Amount paid, especially if the entry shows $0
  • Claim status, including inquiry or information-only language
  • Property address, vehicle, or policyholder identity
  • Duplicate entries for the same event

Evidence that may help

Police reports identifying the uninsured/hit-and-run driver, the insurer's coverage determination.
