Uninsured Motorist Claims

San Jose Uninsured Motorist Claim Attorney

Let a Skilled San Jose Car Accident Lawyer Help

A car accident can leave you with a number of serious hardships, from steep medical bills and pain and suffering, to disability keeping you from earning a living. When the at-fault driver does not have liability insurance, or not enough to pay for your damages, you may obtain financial relief from your own uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) motorist coverage.

At Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm, our attorneys have significant experience handling UM/UIM claims for clients throughout San Jose and the surrounding region. Regardless of the type or severity of your injury, we are here to help.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage in California

Despite the DMV requirement for California drivers to carry minimal auto liability insurance coverage for bodily injury of $15,000 per person and $30,000 for all persons involved in one accident, many people drive without insurance! There are drivers who do not have insurance, and some who may not even have a driver’s license.

Getting involved in an accident with an uninsured driver can turn a bad situation to worse. The number of these drivers continues to grow each year, and current estimates suggest that one in every six drivers in California does not have auto liability insurance. If you have purchased uninsured motorist coverage as part of your insurance plan, you may be covered in these situations.

However, uninsured motorist coverage is not guaranteed to cover all of your damages and injuries. Like any insurance liability, uninsured coverage has limits and restrictions. If you suffer serious injuries in an auto accident, the cost of your injuries may greatly exceed your coverage. Before you file a claim, you should review your case with a personal injury attorney to ensure you are protected.

We Help Our Clients Find Solutions with Auto Liability

Our injury attorneys in the San Jose helps clients understand their uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and pursue the compensation they deserve. While it is true that a UM/UIM claim is made with your insurance, this does not mean your rates will automatically increase. This is determined on a case-by-case basis, and it is important to protect yourself from wrongful insurance termination and unfair rate changes.
