We specialize in vehicle accidents
Car accidents happen. The unfortunate reality is that sometimes one or more parties involved in an accident do not have auto insurance. If you’ve been in an accident where the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured, or you want to be prepared in case you are ever stuck in this predicament, this article may have the answers you are seeking.
California is a liability state, which means you have the legal right to sue if you are ever struck by a motorist who is not properly insured. The driver who is declared at fault can be held financially responsible, even if he or she is uninsured or underinsured.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
When hit by an uninsured motorist, you may be faced with lost wages, seemingly astronomical medical expenses and high property damage. To protect yourself, be certain that your auto insurance policy includes uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. In the unfortunate event that you’re involved in an accident caused by a driver without sufficient coverage, your insurance will cover the damages.
If you have uninsured motorist coverage already, be sure to report the accident to your insurance company or hire an attorney to report the accident without delay. Most insurance companies only give the policy holder a maximum of 30 days to report an accident.
How to Handle an Accident with an Uninsured Driver at the Scene
