You are not alone if you have been in a car accident with an uninsured driver. Uninsured motorist accidents are more common than you might think. In 2019, 1 in 8 drivers had no insurance, according to a report from the Insurance Research Council.
After an accident with an uninsured driver, you could be facing extensive property damage and many medical expenses. This sudden financial burden can leave you feeling helpless and discouraged. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your vehicle.
If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, your insurance company may step in and pay for your damages up to your policy limits. If you do not have UM coverage, then you can sue the at-fault driver directly. All states require drivers to have car insurance, but not all require uninsured motorist coverage.
There are a variety of reasons why some people choose to drive without insurance. In some cases, people may not fully understand the importance of insurance or believe they can get by without it. Other drivers choose to drive without insurance because they know it is cheaper than paying for insurance.
Whatever the reason, choosing to drive without insurance is illegal in almost all states and can result in severe penalties. When someone causes an accident while uninsured, he or she will likely be held responsible for any damage or injuries. In some cases, the at-fault driver may even face criminal charges, loss of a license, and hefty fines.
Our legal team at Judd Shaw Injury Law can work with you to investigate the accident and gather evidence to support your claim. We can also negotiate with the other driver’s insurance company on your behalf. If a settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer will be prepared to take your case to trial.
In some states, if you are in an accident with an uninsured motorist, your own insurance company may pay for your damages regardless of who was at fault. But in other states, you may only be able to recover damages if the other driver was at fault. A lawyer can advise you on your rights in your state.
Remember, the insurance companies may try to minimize their payout, pressure you into an unfair settlement, or even delay payment. Having the right lawyer on your side is vital to seek the full compensation you deserve.
