If you are hit by an uninsured driver, it’s important to know your rights

Florida’s no-fault law and uninsured driver claims

Florida’s no-fault law can help you after an uninsured driver accident. The no-fault law states that all drivers will seek financial benefits from their own insurance providers, regardless of fault. If the other driver involved in your crash does not have auto insurance, this is not a problem, as you will file a claim with your own insurance carrier.

You may be able to file a claim against your own insurance company

In most cases, your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance will pay for your medical expenses and lost wages after an accident, whether or not the other driver had insurance. If, however, your injuries meet Florida’s serious injury threshold, you will have grounds to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. Unfortunately, you may have trouble holding the other driver financially responsible for causing a serious auto accident if he or she is uninsured.

Consider a car accident lawsuit with help from an uninsured motorist lawyer

Get justice and ask for financial reimbursement of your physical and emotional losses

A Florida uninsured driver accident lawsuit could result in greater financial compensation for your injuries and losses compared to a first-party insurance claim with your own provider. Suing an uninsured driver for damages could reimburse you for physical pain and emotional suffering, for example, as well as punitive damages.

This type of recovery will only be possible, however, if the at-fault party has enough insurance or assets to pay out a settlement or judgment award.

Your uninsured motorist lawyer can find a way to get the right compensation if the other party is unable to pay for your damages

If another driver caused your wreck while uninsured, he or she may be unable to pay for your losses during a car accident lawsuit. Most uninsured drivers do not have the funds to pay financial compensation. An uninsured motorist lawyer can potentially identify another party that caused or contributed to your auto accident in Florida, such as an auto manufacturer. This could give you an outlet for fair financial recovery even if the other driver was uninsured.

Your Questions Answered

Will I receive anything from the other driver if they are underinsured or uninsured?

If you had a car accident and the other driver has no insurance, you can file your claim with your own car insurance company and perceive the allowances specified in your contract. An uninsured motorist lawyer could also help you find an eventual third at-fault party, that could be held accountable for part of your damages.

If the driver is uninsured, it is likely that he won’t be able to pay for your damages. You will then need to file your claim with your own insurance company, and an uninsured motorist lawyer can help you negotiate with them to get the right compensation for your losses. He can also help you find a third at-fault party that could be held accountable for part of your damages.

An Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UIM) will help you cover the physical and property damages caused by a driver that caused an accident and doesn’t have enough coverage to pay. The UIM is a policy provision of your car insurance company.

If you have a car accident and the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, he may not have sufficient funds to finance your compensation. This means you will need to file your claim with your own car insurance company. In this situation, it is recommended to hire an uninsured motorist lawyer that can help you negotiate with the insurance thanks to its legal knowledge.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
