How Will An Attorney Help An Underinsured Or Uninsured Motorist Claim?

An attorney will be beneficial for these cases because they will have the resources necessary to obtain all evidence related to the incident. This can include any video surveillance and photographs from the scene, as well as eyewitness statements and the accident report.

Using this information, as well as your medical records, an attorney will negotiate with every party involved to secure a fair settlement on your behalf.

These Incidents Can Lead To Major Expenses

The Illinois Department of Transportation says that there were nearly 320,000 total traffic crashes during the latest reporting year across the state. These car accidents led to almost 94,000 people being injured and 1,035 total fatalities.

Unfortunately, many drivers in this state fail to carry the required amount of insurance as required by Illinois law:

• $25,000 – injury or death of one person in an accident
• $50,000 – injury or death of more than one person in an accident
• $20,000 – damage to property of another person

If a victim is struck by a driver with no insurance, it can be difficult to recover the compensation necessary for injuries and property damage expenses. It may be possible to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver, though they may not have the assets available to cover all expenses.

An underinsured motorist is one who has insurance, but whose coverage limits are too low to cover the damages and injuries caused by the crash. While uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is not required in Illinois, this type of coverage is highly recommended in order to offer protection in these instances.
