How Can You Protect Yourself In Case of an Uninsured Motorist Collision?

In California, you can purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to protect yourself in case an uninsured or underinsured driver causes a car accident in Riverside. If the driver who caused your accident does not have the minimum auto liability insurance required by law, your uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance should cover you for at least those minimum amounts listed above. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage amounts are generally in line with liability coverage in a policy. Buying more coverage can provide you with greater protection in case of a serious accident.

What Are Your Options after an Uninsured Motorist Accident?

After a crash caused by an uninsured motorist, you can file a claim with your own insurance company if you have uninsured motorist coverage. If you do not have the coverage or your claim is denied, you have the option to try to obtain a settlement from the at-fault driver. If your settlement attempts fail, you may file a lawsuit in civil court against the at-fault driver to recover for your injuries.
