UNINSURED MOTORIST AND UNDERINSURED MOTORIST CASES
Being in an accident with an uninsured motorist can be a frightening experience. It may seem as if there is no way to recover compensation for your injuries. However, you may carry uninsured motorist insurance as a part of your automobile insurance, and not even realize it.
UNINSURED MOTORIST CASES
Anytime you are in an accident with someone who cannot be identified or someone who does not have their own automobile insurance, you may have an uninsured motorist claim. For example, if you are struck by a hit and run driver, you are probably covered by your own insurance policy. This is true even if you are not in your car! A pedestrian who is struck by an unknown driver still may have an uninsured motorist claim. To see if you have an uninsured motorist claim, speak with an experienced attorney immediately. Do not give a statement to any insurance company, including your own, as you may be hurting your case. At Brad J. Balke, P.C., we have handled numerous uninsured motorist claims.
UNDERINSURED MOTORIST CASES
If you get into an accident with someone who has insurance, but whose policy limits are too low to compensate you fully for your injury, you may have an underinsured motorist claim against your own insurance company. To find out if you have an underinsured motorist claim, call Brad J. Balke, P.C. immediately. Do not make a statement to your insurance company or any other insurance company without speaking to a lawyer.
