Uninsured Motorist Lawyer
Uninsured Motorist Lawyer in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Our Experienced South Florida Team Can Help You Determine the Best Course of Action
Getting into a car accident can be a traumatic experience that continues long after you leave the site of the collision. In addition to dealing with injuries and losses, you will also have to deal with insurance companies. This process only becomes more difficult when the driver who harmed you is underinsured or lacks an insurance policy altogether. While you may feel like you have no options for legal recourse, this is not the case.
You may be able to have your medical bills and other losses mitigated by your insurance policy. Negotiating with insurance companies, however, may be complicated.
Fighting For Compensation On Your Behalf
The Uninsured Driver
Unfortunately, uninsured or underinsured drivers do not usually have the assets to compensate you for your losses. As soon as you realize the driver who hit you does not have adequate car insurance coverage, you should contact our Fort Lauderdale uninsured motorist attorneys at Schlesinger Law Offices, P.A. We can help you negotiate with insurance companies and maximize your settlement.
In the event you are hit by a driver who flees the scene, we can also help you handle the insurance claims process.
Is Car Insurance Required in Florida?
Everyone in the state of Florida is required to carry personal injury protection (PIP). This mandatory coverage provides drivers up to $10,000 for medical treatment, regardless of who is at fault in the accident. While $10,000 is useful, it may not be enough money to cover your injuries and losses after a serious accident with an uninsured driver.
When this is the case, you will need to review your insurance policy. Many people carry special insurance for uninsured or underinsured motorists. If you do have this coverage, our Fort Lauderdale legal team can help you pursue maximum compensation.
