What is underinsured motorist coverage in South Dakota?

In South Dakota, underinsured motorist (UIM) insurance coverage pays benefits for the injuries of you and any passengers in your car if you are involved in an accident caused by a driver who has some insurance, but not enough to cover the losses that result from the accident.
