In most cases, when you are hit and injured by a negligent driver, their insurance company pays your damages. This financial compensation may cover your medical bills, lost wages, replacement services (housework, yard work, driving kids, etc) and more.
However, if you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, the reality may be more difficult. If you know a negligent driver has no assets, you can file a suit against your own insurance company to cover the losses. If you carry extra coverage for uninsured and underinsured motorists, your insurance company is expected to cover the damages of the accident. If you live in a no-fault state like Florida, your insurance company must cover you.
Insurance companies will be vigilant to ensure that they are not paying anymore than they have to. If you have been injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you likely need an experienced lawyer on your side.
