Do you know what Uninsured/ Underinsured Motorist Coverage Is?

By law, the State of Alabama requires every motor vehicle to have a minimum amount of liability coverage or automobile insurance on their vehicle. Unfortunately, many Alabama motorists do not buy automobile insurance. In fact, a recent study found 25% of Alabama drivers to be uninsured.  Many people who are insured purchase a minimum insurance policy in which the coverage is insufficient to cover all the costs associated with the accident.

Getting an insurance company to recognize a claim against an uninsured motorist often presents challenges and requires a personal injury attorney like those at Farris, Riley & Pitt in order to maximize recovery.

For motorists who are injured where the at-fault driver (the driver that caused the accident) only has a minimum policy available and the coverage is inadequate to cover the costs associated with the accident, the injured motorist's Unisured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage would be needed to cover any additional costs.

What does this mean to the injured victim?

There are several scenarios where Uninsured Motorist Coverage would cover you if you are injured in an automobile accident.
