When Negligent Drivers Don't Have Enough Insurance
In many cases, the injuries caused by an auto wreck are serious. Unfortunately, drivers are only required to have a certain amount of insurance coverage. What happens when a negligent driver doesn't have enough insurance to cover the victim's medical bills? Does the victim have to pay the remaining costs? Maybe. Maybe not.
The Stanley Law Offices, LLP, our attorneys have more than 40 years of combined experience handling car crashes, truck crashes, motorcycle crashes and other auto accident cases. We know where to look for potential sources of compensation when the negligent driver doesn't have enough insurance. The first place to look is at your own insurance policy for underinsured motorist coverage.
What is Underinsured Motorist Coverage?
Underinsured motorist coverage is a cheap and important coverage option that drivers can purchase from their insurance companies. Often, with all of the fine print that comes with an insurance policy, drivers often forget that they even have this coverage.
Our lawyers will review all insurance policies involved. We will max out the negligent driver's insurance policy. If there are still more costs that need to be covered, we will look at the victim's policy for underinsured motorist coverage. When this coverage is available, and often it is, we will work with the victim's insurance company in order to see that the remaining costs are covered. If legal action is necessary, we will not hesitate to act.
We represent individuals in Upstate New York and Northeast Pennsylvania, including the cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Scranton and Syracuse. We make it as convenient as possible for you to get help from our experienced attorneys.
