The purpose of the Fund is to reduce the cost of uninsured motorist insurance coverage.
Monies are distributed annually from the Fund among the insurers writing motor vehicle bodily injury and property damage liability insurance on vehicles registered in Virginia. Monies are distributed in proportion that each insurer's premium income for the basic uninsured motorists limits coverage bears to the total premium income for basic uninsured motorists coverage written in Virginia during the preceding year.

This suggests that I might get some relief through my own insurance company, who access the fund, eh?

Maybe that's how my friend got his car covered.
