What Should I Do if I Was in an Accident with an Uninsured Driver?

Being in a car accident is bad enough, but what if you’re in an accident and find that the other driver is uninsured? Well, you can rest assured knowing that if you carry the proper insurance coverage and retain a skilled personal injury attorney, you’ll have very little to worry about.

Nearly every state requires bodily injury insurance coverage but despite this some drivers still get on the road without any insurance coverage. While it is unfortunate that some drivers operate their cars illegally, this doesn’t mean you will need to cover the costs incurred from the car accident with the uninsured driver. The Law Brothers are your personal injury lawyers here to offer you the guidance you need to navigate the aftermath of an accident with an uninsured driver.

Before you find yourself in a car accident, you should consider uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage in the event of a collision with uninsured driver.

If you are not at-fault in the accident, your insurance company will have the expectation that the driver who caused the accident will be responsible for the damages.

You should stay calm and gather all the contact information of the other driver. Do not admit fault under any circumstances. You will need to call the police to file a detailed police report and ensure you have the evidence your Law Brothers lawyer will need to sue the other driver for damages and personal injury. You should take photos of the scene of the accident to help bolster the evidence from the police report and to solidify your case.

If you are injured, you will need to seek medical attention immediately following the accident to create a medical record of your injuries showing the extent of the medical care you require following the accident with the uninsured driver. The documentation will assist your lawyers in court showing that you sought medical attention right away. The best route forward includes informing your insurance of the accident.

Next, you will want to seek vehicle repairs, especially if the damage has totaled your vehicle. By calling The Law Brothers immediately following an accident, you will ensure your case is being built and handled in the best way possible. If the uninsured driver sways you to handle the car accident quickly with them paying out-of-pocket for your expenses, you should refuse and review the offer for out-of-pocket compensation with The Law Brothers.

You will need to file a personal injury lawsuit against the uninsured driver if you have bodily injury or property damage to receive payment for medical bills and car repairs. Uninsured drivers who are at-fault do face penalties by the state, but that does not mean it will be offered to you as compensation for the damages you have suffered due to the car accident.

Discussing your accident with a personal injury lawyer at The Law Brothers will help you navigate where to go from here. We can offer you the legal options you have following a car accident with an uninsured who may not have the financial means to pay for damages. The Law Brothers can even speak to your insurance company with you and help file the claim.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
