California roadways are home to thousands of automotive accidents each year. In the vast majority of cases, both drivers have their own insurance. However, some accidents involve motorists who are uninsured or under-insured. This can lead to a great deal of hassle and frustration for the driver who was properly insured.
A Sacramento uninsured motorist lawyer can explain that California law requires that every motorist maintain liability coverage in case they are responsible for causing an accident.
A Sacramento uninsured motorist attorney can explain how different uninsured motorist cases arise. There is the classic case of a person being hit by a negligent driver who irresponsibly does not pay for automotive coverage or who let the insurance lapse. Another situation that a Sacramento uninsured motorist lawyer may be able to explain is when the driver is under-insured, meaning that the insurance that he or she has is inadequate to provide compensation for the damages that he or she caused. An uninsured motorist claim may also arise when the accident was a hit-and-run and the driver is unknown.
In California, motorists can be covered by uninsured motorist protection. This allows you to sue your own insurance company in order to recover for the damages that you suffered. The insurance company can then choose to pursue the negligent party who caused the accident in order to recuperate the damages that it awarded you.
