Car Crashes Involving Underinsured and Uninsured Drivers
When damages from your accident exceed the amount of insurance the at-fault driver has, or when the other driver does not carry insurance that will cover your injuries (Bodily Injury), you may be able to pursue a Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claim under your own insurance policy. Underinsured/Uninsured Motorists claims are filed with your own auto insurer, and I will review your policy to see if there are UM Benefits that can be received to help you recover from your injuries. Unfortunately, insurers are not always willing to provide the benefits their policyholders have contracted for and are entitled to, and I will pursue the insurance benefits that you deserve from your insurance company.
As your attorney, I will thoroughly review your auto insurance policy to determine the benefits that you are entitled to and I will pursue those benefits on your behalf. I am Walter L. "J.R." Grantham, Jr., and I have been representing car accident victims in Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and throughout the state of Florida for more than 20 years. Contact me and I will use my experience to help you recover fair compensation after an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
Understand Your Insurance Policy
Since recovering compensation after an accident with an underinsured or uninsured driver will involve a claim against your own insurance policy, it is important that you have a full understanding of that policy and the coverages that you have purchased. Additionally, if your insurance company did not properly explain your waiver of this important coverage, a thorough investigation of your insurance contract may provide additional coverage to help offset the financial damages that you will incur after being hurt in a car crash. Did you know that your UM coverage must equal your Bodily Injury coverage, unless you specifically waive that coverage in writing?
It can be stressful, confusing, and frustrating when you navigate through all the different issues from a vehicle accident including insurance benefits, coverages and policies that may be available to compensate you for all of your damages. By hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer, you can feel confident that from the beginning of your case to its final conclusion you have a trial lawyer on your side that will seek the compensation that the law provides for your injuries.
