Florida law requires that all drivers carry minimum liability insurance; however, many drivers do not obey the law. When these drivers cause a motor vehicle accident, they create a financial burden for the accident victim in addition to the physical and emotional harm they cause. The accident victim is left to deal with the mounting medical bills, property damage, and other financial damages as he or she struggles to make ends meet while out of work due to the accident injuries.
When another driver causes an accident, that driver’s insurance should pay compensation to the accident victims to cover these losses. However, if the at-fault driver does not have insurance, is the accident victim left with nothing? An uninsured motorist attorney can help.
Collecting Compensation Under Your Uninsured Motorist Coverage
If you are hit by an uninsured driver, you may be eligible to receive compensation from your own insurance company under your uninsured motorist coverage. Your insurance company steps into the “shoes” of the other driver to pay for your losses, damages, and injuries as if it was the insurance company for the at-fault driver. However, do not assume that your insurance company will treat you fairly simply because you are its insured.
All insurance companies are in business to make a profit. Paying large accident claims is not part of the company’s plan to make money. Your insurance company will treat your uninsured motorist claim just like every other accident claim it processes. The adjusters and attorneys will fight your claim and search for ways to lower the amount of compensation it must pay to you to settle your claim.
Do not let this happen to you. Contact an uninsured motorist attorney before you talk to your insurance company. Never sign documents or provide statement regarding the accident until you have consulted with an experienced West Palm Beach uninsured motorist attorney.
Call An Uninsured Motorist Attorney Before You Settle Your Automobile Accident Claim With Your Insurance Company
“Bill Williams and his investigator (Jimmie) did a plus 10 job on my case. It was complex because of no eye witnesses and an inaccurate police report. Many insurance companies were involved and it also involved an accident policy as I am self employed and was working. The firm writing the accident policy disputed I was working because I happened to be going between projects on a motorcycle. Bill even reviewed all my insurance policies and found some substantial dollar amounts I was not even aware I qualified for. All the companies paid the maximum amounts due me under the policies( a very large total amount). I was able to pay medical bills, live well and keep my company running and my workers employed all because of Bill. His bill for this excellent work was very fair. This is the attorney and the firm you want if you are injured and have a tough case. He and Jimmie were a tremendous asset when I was interviewed by insurance company investigators. Jimmie came to the accident scene and did a very detailed inspection and review with me which really helped my case. When the firm’s commercials appear on TV and feature Bill I am always proud to point out what a great job he, Jimmie and the firm did for me . He is the best in my opinion and he definitely delivers the goods.”
