Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims

When someone is involved in an automobile accident where the person responsible for the accident is uninsured or underinsured, often the person injured has a claim against his own insurance company pursuant to the uninsured-underinsured motorist provisions contained in the policy. To hold their insurance company liable, accident victims must have first purchased uninsured-underinsured motorist coverage. Illinois law requires that all auto insurance liability carriers offer uninsured-underinsured motorist coverage — it does not require that individuals purchase that coverage.

Once it is determined that the person injured has uninsured-underinsured motorist coverage and the person responsible for the accident is uninsured or underinsured, the relationship between the injured person and his/her insurance company becomes adversarial, and it is recommended that the injured person retain an attorney to assist with that claim.

In an uninsured-underinsured motorist situation, the insurance company steps into the shoes of the responsible party, and generally, a claim must be prepared as if for trial in order to properly arbitrate the case. It is recommended that anyone involved in an accident involving uninsured- underinsured motorist coverage, contact an attorney familiar with the issues relative to these types of claims.
