You may have been struck by a negligent driver and subsequently learned that the driver did not have automobile insurance. Health insurance will likely cover medical expenses, but your health insurance policy will not cover lost wages, future lost earnings, or automobile repair bills. A health insurance policy will also not compensate you for the pain and suffering you endured as a result of the accident.

Each driver who buys an automobile insurance policy should consider purchasing additional coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage will help put a limit on the financial amount you may owe if you are struck by a driver who does not have automobile insurance.
Insurance companies have different policies that provide uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Even if you purchased this supplemental insurance, you might still have to demand that the insurance company pay you the full amount stated in your policy. Under these circumstances, it is a good idea to retain an experienced personal injury attorney who can offer you exceptional legal representation.
Our car accident attorneys can communicate with insurance companies and ensure that you receive the financial compensation you deserve. Your insurance company is not necessarily on your side, and the company may complicate matters when you demand payment under an uninsured motorist provision in your insurance policy.
Retaining a personal injury lawyer is one of the best things you can do if you are struck by an uninsured driver. You need to be able to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney, so you understand the difference between first-party claims and third-party claims. The driver may have been working for a third party at the time of the accident, and in these cases, it is helpful to have an attorney sort through the complex relationships in the case. A skilled personal injury attorney can advise you of your legal rights, hold liable parties accountable, and negotiate with insurance companies.
You also will benefit from hiring a personal injury attorney because the attorney will gather evidence, subpoena documents, and depose parties. Also, an attorney will conduct discovery and find out the information that opposing counsel has that may be detrimental to your case. Retaining a personal injury lawyer attorney gives you time to heal from your injuries without worrying about collecting medical records and itemizing medical bills.
