When the Negligent Driver Does Not Have Proper Insurance Coverage
While there is no such thing as an ideal motor vehicle accident case, cases tend to be more straightforward if the negligent driver's insurance policy covers all of the damages you incurred in the accident. These cases cannot be described as simple, because insurance companies always fight to avoid paying full compensation, but at least the coverage is there. If the negligent driver is not covered, or does not have enough coverage, an attorney has to look elsewhere. At the law firm of Marcus & Mack, we know where to look. We mean business.
Do you have uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage as part of your auto insurance policy? You may have it and not even know about it. If you were hit by a driver who does not have proper coverage, we will file a claim through your own insurance policy to make certain you get all the compensation you need to move forward with your life.
Coverage in Hit-and-Run Accidents
Your uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage will cover you if you were hit by a negligent driver who left the scene of the accident. Unless the police find the negligent driver, there is nobody to take action against. Even if the police do find the driver, it is highly likely that he or she does not have sufficient insurance coverage, or has an expired insurance policy.
You Do Not Have to Worry About Filing a Claim
Many people do not want to file a claim under their uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. They worry it will lead to cancellation of their policy or a rate increase. It is important that you know that there will be no penalty for you filing a claim, because someone else caused the accident. Your policy will not be canceled. Rates will not go up.
