Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist

Seattle Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Claim Lawyers

Insurance companies can complicate any car accident claim for victims and their families. When an accident involves an underinsured or uninsured motorist, the situation gets trickier. Some injured drivers may not understand what UI/UIM coverage is, if their insurance policy includes UI/UIM coverage and may be confused how they sue their own auto insurance carrier to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage and pain and suffering.

We have been fighting hard for the rights of clients throughout the Puget Sound area since 1990.

Are you covered in an underinsured or uninsured motorist accident?

Every driver in Washington State is required by law to carry liability insurance in the event that they cause an accident. Unfortunately, more and more drivers either do not have enough insurance coverage or may even have none at all. To avoid the financial burden in an accident with an uninsured driver, you have the right to include UM/UIM coverage in your policy. This coverage means that your insurance company pays for your medical expenses, lost income and other costly expenses and damages.

Another way insurance companies work hard to make money at your expense is by encouraging you to decline UM/UIM coverage, so they avoid paying claims when these types of accidents occur. To be effective, however, any rejection of UM/UIM coverage must be in writing. If you are in an accident with an uninsured driver, our Everett personal injury attorneys know how to handle these types of claims.
