Being hit by a driver without insurance can be frustrating and overwhelming. You may wonder how you’ll cover medical bills or vehicle repairs. Fortunately, California law provides options for recovering compensation, and Go Jeff Law is here to help.
What Are Your Options After an Uninsured Motorist Accident?
- Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM): If you have UM coverage in your insurance policy, it can help cover medical expenses and damages.
- Personal Injury Lawsuit: You can sue the at-fault driver, though collecting compensation may be difficult if they have no assets.
- Other Avenues for Compensation: Depending on the circumstances, there may be additional sources of recovery, such as employer liability if the driver was on the job.
Steps to Take After an Accident with an Uninsured Driver
- Call the Police: A police report will document the accident for your insurance claim.
- Gather Evidence: Take photos, collect witness statements, and get the driver’s information.
