Chicago Auto Accident Attorneys
Illinois Law Firm for People Injured by Uninsured Motorists
Being involved in a car or motorcycle accident — or struck while walking or riding a bicycle — is traumatic, to say the least. Learning the driver at fault was uninsured or carried the absolute minimum of liability coverage can add major stress and concern in this difficult time.
Our Naperville insurance claim lawyers handle all types of valid personal injury cases — including representation of people harmed by uninsured and underinsured motorists. We can often make the difference in negotiations with your own insurance company, and we also strive to find any other viable source of financial recovery for you, such as seeking a judgment against the uninsured driver.
In-Depth Knowledge of Auto Insurance Claims and Coverage
Some people harmed by uninsured motorists assume they simply have no recourse. They make the mistake of never filing an insurance claim or lawsuit — without talking to an experienced personal injury attorney. The realities include:
- If you have your own auto insurance, there is a high likelihood it includes uninsured motorist, or "UM" coverage of at least $20,000 per accident, as required by Illinois law.
- Many people in metro Chicago, Naperville and the western suburbs carry UM coverage with much higher policy limits, and our lawyers can readily analyze your policy.
- If your injuries — or a family member's injuries or wrongful death — occurred in a hit-and-run, pedestrian accident or bicycle accident, uninsured motorist coverage may cover damages in this situation is well.
- Generally speaking, your auto insurance rates will not increase because of an uninsured motorist claim for an accident that was not your fault.
