Irvine Uninsured Motorist Accident Attorney

Compensation for Victims of Uninsured Motorists

It is the law that all drivers be able to provide financial responsibility for their accidents.  For nearly all that means having liability car insurance.  It is a sad fact though that many do not purchase insurance and drive anyway.  If a driver is in a car accident and discovers the other party does not have liability insurance, he then must rely on uninsured motorist coverage for his compensation.  This is coverage he buys with his liability insurance policy. 

The injured party should be aware that just because he is making a claim against his own company does not mean he will get generous treatment.  Insurance companies are insurance companies and try to minimize claims whenever they can.  To get fair treatment claimants are urged to contact an Irvine personal injury attorney experienced in uninsured motorist claims.

Damages in Uninsured Motorist Claims

The party injured due to the negligence of an insured motorist is entitled to compensation for medical expenses, hospital costs, loss of income, lost earning capacity and pain and suffering up to the limits of his policy. He is also entitled to compensation for damage to his car if he purchased uninsured motorist property damage coverage.

Hit and Run Accidents

Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury coverage also applies to hit and run accidents.  If the other driver was not willing to stay and confront the accident, it is presumed he did not have insurance.  Damage to the car however will not be covered unless the other driver can be identified.
