Understanding UM/UIM Motorist Claims
In Kentucky, every driver must have collision insurance, but not all comply. Even when they do, their coverage might not be enough to cover your damages. However, the law only requires insurance to cover a minimum of $25,000 per injured party, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 for property damage. Severe injuries can cost much more than these amounts, leaving you with significant financial burdens.
This is where uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims come in. If you have this coverage, you can make a claim on your own policy to make up for the liable driver’s lack of coverage.
Fighting For Your Rights Against Insurance Companies
Making a claim on your own policy does not mean the insurance company will support you after a car accident. Auto insurance companies often try to drag out their “investigations” well past a reasonable time frame, claim your injuries were preexisting or exaggerated or otherwise pressure you into taking a settlement offer far lower than what you deserve. This is because your insurance provider prioritizes profits over its responsibilities to you.
Our attorneys know these tactics well. We take on the insurance industry to win. We fight to ensure you receive the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
