Recoverable Damages in a UM/UIM Accident
If you are ever involved in an accident with a UM/UIM, there are several types of damages that you may be able to recover through the court system. A claim can be brought against your insurance company for expenses related to the collision, and sometimes a civil case can be brought against the uninsured motorist.
Uninsured coverage may also kick in to protect you from damages caused by a hit and run driver. It is always a good idea to discuss with your attorney your particular coverage and sources of compensation.
Filing a claim can lead to the recovery of several types of damages, including:
- Property damage
- Costly medical bills
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Lost earning potential
While many would advise that seeking damages from an uninsured driver is moot, there is always a possibility that the negligent driver is uninsured for reasons other than financial hardship and will have the sufficient funds to compensate you for your injuries.
This is best examined on a case-by-case basis with the trained eye of an experienced uninsured car accident lawyer from our firm. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your crash, we can examine your situation and help determine the most appropriate course of action to take.
