Uninsured Motorist Personal Injury Cases

Getting into an accident is frustrating, scary, and sometimes devastating. Finding out the other driver who is at fault – or partially at fault – is uninsured makes matters much worse. The victim nevertheless needs to seek medical treatment, deal with potential missed work, and possibly replace his or her vehicle. Additionally, drivers that suffer personal injury from an uninsured motorist can become targets for bad faith practices from their own insurance companies.

Why You Need an Attorney Right Away

In cases involving an uninsured motorist, it is even more imperative than usual to notify the insurance provider for the claim. Because insurance companies avoid uninsured motorist claims due to larger out-of-pocket costs, they typically offer a very small window for filing this type of claim. Sometimes it is as little as 30 days.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Car insurance policies offer uninsured motorist coverage, which is highly recommended for every driver. If this is part of an individual’s policy, he or she has a limited timeframe to act. If the victim does not have uninsured motorist coverage, it is possible to pursue damages in some cases, but not all.

Bad Faith Practices

Because the driver at fault is not insured, the pay-out from the victim’s insurance company is often substantially higher. This puts victims at a higher risk for bad faith practices. What are common bad faith practices?

  • Insurance companies may refuse to fulfill claims for unwarranted causes.
  • Insurance companies may neglect to communicate policy limitations, coverage, or any pertinent information regarding the claim.
  • Insurance companies may fail to properly investigate in a reasonable and timely manner.

By law, insurance companies are all required to exercise a duty to act in good faith on all claims, and cannot intentionally avoid an obligation to fulfill claims or investigate in a reasonable manner, and timeframe. Our attorneys can assess whether the insurance companies failed to act in this manner, and pursue appropriate litigation.
