Uninsured and Under-Insured Motorist Claims
When someone is involved in an automobile accident where the person responsible for the accident is uninsured or under-insured, often the person injured has a claim against his own insurance company pursuant to the uninsured under-insured motorist provisions contained in their policy. To hold their insurance company liable, they must have first purchased uninsured under-insured motorist coverage. Illinois law requires that all auto insurance liability carriers offer uninsured under-insured motorist coverage - it does not require that individuals purchase that coverage.
Once it is determined that the person injured has uninsured under-insured motorist coverage and the person responsible for the accident is uninsured or under-insured, 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 them with that claim.
In an uninsured under-insured 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 under-insured motorist coverage, contact an attorney familiar with the issues relative to these types of claims.
