If you purchase auto insurance from Geico and happen to pay for an uninsured motorist policy, DO NOT expect them to honor it. Got hit by an uninsured motorist and guess who refuses to provide the coverage that was paid for in full. Upon discussing this with legal counsel after getting hit with over $12,000 in medical bills, Geico offered to pay $500. I was told this is a standard business practice by Geico Claims. In short, they sell you a policy they have no intention of honoring!

#10 UPDATE Employee
Uninsured Motorist coverage
AUTHOR: Employee - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 24, 2014
One of the things that people automatically assume is that if they are hit by an uninsured driver then a carrier is going to send them a check automatically for whatever coverage they have purchased.
Think it through-if that was actually true, how long would any insurer stay in business? Everyone with a policy would suddenly be getting hit by hit and run drivers.
An unisured motorist policy covers you for an accident involving another uninsured driver. BUT....to collect, ther are very special circumstances that must to met. Depending on the state involved, there are laws called Threshhold Laws that must be met-not just 'I'm hurt, pay me'. A typical Threshhold is stated thus: The injured party must suffer...'loss of a body part, permanent loss of a body function, a permanent injury, a broken bone, permanent loss of employment, etc.'. In laymans terms, you either need to have an amputation, be blinded in one eye, become permanently disabled, break your leg, etc.
The fact that you have $12.000 in medical bills is irrelvant. Just a local trip to an E/R can be that much-particularly if you stay overnight.
I do not know what state you live in, but in some states there is a mandatory coverage called No Fault that will pay those bills. If you live in a state that does not have it, then health care will pay them.
From your complaint, it seems to me that your case does not meet your local Threshhold Laws and the $500 they offerred is what those in the industry call a nuisance value.
You can probably get a better explanation of whatever Threshhold Laws are applicable in your state by contacting your local State Insurance Department.
Oh, and one other thing...if you are sold an Uninsured Motorist coverage on your policy, it is probable that the coverage is Required by your state-many states have mandatory coverages.

Are you beginning to understand that the United States of America has become a country whose foundation is solidly built on lies, deception, fraud, manipulation, greed, trickery, deep corruption, and the constant pursuit to financially injure the innocent people living here and all over the world? It is one of the main reasons that our country is falling apart and has so many problems.
The executives at most of the corporations in this country do not care about how profits are made anymore. They only care about making profits, even if it means financially injuring their own customers and even their own employees. Make sure to spread your Ripoff Report all over the web at sites like Twitter and Facebook every day!
WELCOME TO CORPORATE AMERICA- ONE BIG LIE THAT IS BEING EXPOSED ON THE WORLDWIDE WEB EVERY DAY

WELCOME TO GEICO- WE MIGHT NOT PAY YOUR CLAIM AND THAT WILL INCREASE PROFITS AND KEEP THE STOCK VALUE HIGH FOR MR. BUFFETT'S COMPANY, BECAUSE GEICO IS A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

What has Geico given as a reason for this denial?

You must have asked them by now. It's illegal for them to just ignore legal claims under the terms of your policy. IF they are truly doing this, immediately report this to your state's insurance commissioner.
What does your policy, which I hope you've read, say about this? It IS the determining factor in this and not what any agent may have told you.
Good luck.
