Injured in a crash caused by an uninsured driver? You may still be able to recover compensation. The Florida Law Group’s Riverview uninsured driver accident lawyers can help you understand your options!

Getting hurt in a car crash (or motorcycle crash, or as a pedestrian) can be a frustrating experience, but it is especially frustrating if the other driver was driving illegally without insurance. Who is supposed to handle your car repairs? Your medical bills? The answer can’t be the at-fault driver’s insurance company, because they don’t have one! 

The good news is that you’re not the first person to have this problem – 1 in 4 Floridians are driving uninsured, which means that there are many people who have found themselves involved in collisions they didn’t cause with no obvious recourse. The better news is that our Riverview uninsured driver accident lawyers can still help you fight to recover the maximum amount possible from your own insurance company. 

With one of our more notable cases, our client was awarded $1,140,000 when they were severely injured by an uninsured driver. Your case may not be worth a million, but it may be worth something – and the best way to find out how much is to contact our firm today for a free consultation! Call now. 

Two ways to seek compensation 

PIP benefits 

Florida is a no-fault state. This doesn’t mean that no one was at fault for the crash – of course someone was – but it means that, by law, you are required to go through your own insurance company first to get benefits. If you were hit by an uninsured driver, this is actually to your benefit. You could potentially recover 80% of emergency medical expenses, $2,500 of non-emergency medical expenses, and 60% of lost wages. 

However, trying to access your PIP benefits can itself be a complicated ordeal; our Riverview uninsured driver accident lawyers will take care of all of the paperwork in communications so you can focus on healing from your injuries. 

An uninsured/underinsured motorist policy

Note that PIP only covers some of the costs you incur in an accident. The others, without legal representation, will fall on your shoulders to pay, which is still unfair and burdensome. If you have an uninsured/underinsured motorist policy, though, you could file a claim with your own insurance company and get your benefits that way. 

Here’s the catch – even though your own insurance company is supposed to be on your side, they aren’t looking out for your best interests! They lose money when they pay out claims. To that end, their MO is to do everything in their power to devalue your claim or deny it outright. They will look for technicalities, try to deny that your injuries are as bad as they are, and more, even if the other driver was clearly negligent. 

That’s why you need The Florida Law Group’s aggressive legal team on your side! We can point out low offers and advocate on your behalf for the highest amount you can get with your policy (which may be higher than they are leading you to believe).
