Florida law requires every driver to carry insurance, but not everybody obeys the law; Florida actually has one of the highest rates of uninsured motorists in the nation. Research estimates that about 1 in 5 Florida drivers is on the roads without insurance. This is an even more concerning statistic than it seems, because those who break the insurance rule are more likely to break other rules of the road as well, and are as much as 34% more likely to get in accidents. If you have been injured in a vehicular collision that was caused by an uninsured driver, it’s not fair that you should have to pay for the costs of the accident out of your own pocket.

Uninsured Motorist Claims Can Be Complicated, But Our Law Firm Can Help You Recover The Maximum Compensation You Deserve!
Being hit by an uninsured motorist can be devastating financially. Depending on the severity of the crash, you could face having to pay thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars out of your own pocket for things like:
- ambulatory transport
- imaging tests (X-rays, MRIs, etc.)
- bloodwork & transfusions
- surgeries
- hospitalization
- rehabilitation
- chiropractic care
- physical therapy
- mental health counseling
- medications
- copays
- deductibles
- medical devices
- specialized care
- emergency dental work & subsequent dental care
- lost wages (for the time you have to take off work while you heal)
- and more.
Sadly, some injuries may be permanent and require lifelong treatment.
Your health insurance will cover some of these costs, but not all of them. In cases where the other driver had insurance, you could file a claim with their insurance company for the monetary damages you incurred. However, when the driver was uninsured, you may have to file a claim with your own insurance company. Whether or not you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage policy (UM/UIM coverage), trying to get your own insurance company to cover the costs of an accident can be a challenging endeavor. You’ll need to prove that you were not at fault and that the other driver exhibited negligence, which can be complicated. Even though you are their customer, your insurance company is not looking out for your best interests; their bottom line is what matters most to them, and they will do everything in their power to avoid paying your claim. In order to win the full amount that your injuries were worth, you need to have aggressive North Tampa uninsured motorist injury lawyers on your side who can fight for your legal rights!
