How Do I Recover Compensation From An Uninsured Motorist?
Recovering compensation from an uninsured motorist can be a stressful and complicated process because you have to work with your insurance provider and deal with the various tactics they generally use to reduce the value of your claim.
Additionally, many uninsured drivers flee the accident scene because they know they can face serious criminal charges if they are caught. Although you can find out the identity of an uninsured driver if police end up catching them, drivers who flee the scene are often never found. But if you purchased uninsured motorist insurance, you might be covered for the costs of bodily injuries to you or your passengers if you are involved in an accident with a negligent driver who does not have adequate insurance.
In California, insurance companies are required to offer drivers buying new policies uninsured motorist coverage. If the driver doesn’t want to purchase uninsured motorist coverage, then the insurance company genrally requires them to sign a waiver acknowledging they received the offer for the coverage but declined it.
Uninsured motorist policies should cover the same damages that auto liability insurance covers. This means you can recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damage, including:
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Reduced quality of life
- Loss of future income
- Past and present medical expenses
- Loss of enjoyment
- Emotional trauma
