Helping Injured Motorists Obtain Benefits From Their Own Insurers After Accidents
An accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist is a driver's nightmare. How do you pay your medical bills? How do you get your car fixed? How do you support your family if you cannot work? And even if the driver carried insurance, it may not be sufficient to cover all your needs after the accident.
Many drivers are unaware that their own insurance policy covers this situation. Illinois requires insurance companies to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. This means that if you are in an accident with another driver who has no insurance or whose policy is inadequate, you can file a claim against your own insurance company.
We Know the Insurance Companies
Even though you are a policyholder, your insurance company may still try to limit the amount it pays you for these types of claims. Having an experienced and skilled accident lawyer to manage the process can help you maximize your recovery. At The Jasmer Law Firm, our principal attorney has been helping injured motorists since 1996 and has filed many uninsured and underinsured motorist claims. As a Chicago uninsured motorist accident lawyer, he knows how the process works and builds cases based on his understanding of each insurance company's operation.
Our attorney is able to evaluate your policy and your situation quickly to determine your best course of action. Even if your injury occurred weeks ago, you may still have options. We will advise you about the legal process, which can involve arbitration if we cannot reach agreement about a settlement with your insurance company. In some cases, there may be a trial. Whatever occurs, you can rely on our firm to advocate for the best possible outcome.
