In such cases, you may have to rely on your own insurance coverage, specifically uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This type of coverage is designed to provide financial protection when the at-fault party does not have insurance or has insufficient coverage.
If you have UM/UIM coverage, we can help you file a claim with your own insurance company to recover damages up to the policy limits. It is advisable to book a free consultation with one of our experts to help you protect your rights and negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
If you do not have UM/UIM coverage or if the at-fault party’s insurance is insufficient, recovering compensation can be more challenging. In these cases, our attorneys can help you explore other avenues such as seeking a judgment against the responsible party personally or pursuing alternative sources of compensation.
