§ 27-7-5-3 — Property damage coverage; authorization

(a) Insurers shall additionally offer to provide
uninsured motorist property damage coverage without any deductible
amount and may offer uninsured motorist property damage coverage
with a deductible of not more than the first three hundred dollars
($300.00) of property damage caused by collision. However, any such
deductible amount for property damage shall be waived for damage
resulting from collision if the insured motor vehicle is legally parked
and unoccupied when involved in a motor vehicle accident for which
the insured is legally entitled to recover damages from an uninsured
motorist.
(b) Property damage losses recoverable under the provisions of this
chapter are limited to damages to the insured motor vehicle and the
personal property owned by the insured which is contained in the
insured motor vehicle and shall not include the loss of use of damaged
or destroyed property.
(c) Any claim for property damage submitted under an uninsured
motorist coverage must include the name and address of the at-fault
operator and any other information to establish the at-fault operator is
without motor vehicle liability insurance. There shall be no liability
imposed upon an insurer where the owner or operator of the other
vehicle cannot be identified.
