An underinsured motorist coverage modified limits trigger is a mechanism that activates an underinsured motorist endorsement in the case of multiple claimants. It comes into play in the event that the underinsured party's insurance cannot pay any one claimant the full amount.

In this case, the modified limits trigger activates the insured party's underinsured motorist coverage, which would cover the difference.
