If an uninsured driver hit you in Clayton County, you may still have a path to compensation. An uninsured driver car accident lawyer can explain how your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may pay part of your losses. This guide covers what the claim can include, the steps, and the deadline to watch. T. Madden & Associates, P.C. has been in practice since 1999 and represents people hurt in car and truck wrecks.<\/p>\n

What an Uninsured Driver Car Accident Claim Is<\/h2>\n

An uninsured driver car accident claim is a claim for injuries after a crash with a driver who has no liability insurance to pay you. The at-fault driver may have no policy at all, or may have fled the scene.<\/p>\n

Georgia’s Office of the Commissioner of Insurance says uninsured motorist coverage may pay an insured for bodily injury, loss of consortium or death, or for injury to or destruction of property, sustained from the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle. (Georgia Commissioner of Insurance<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The Insurance Information Institute adds that these coverages may reimburse policyholders after crashes with uninsured, underinsured or hit-and-run drivers. (Insurance Information Institute<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Hit-and-run crashes make the paperwork harder. Police reports, witness names and photos of the scene become more important. Passengers in the vehicle can also be protected by this coverage.<\/p>\n

A crash with an uninsured driver can leave you with medical bills before any payment arrives. That gap is why your own coverage matters.<\/p>\n\n

Where Payment Comes From: Your Own Uninsured Motorist Coverage<\/h2>\n

Usually, the claim starts with your own uninsured motorist coverage, not the other driver’s policy. Georgia law requires auto policies to include this coverage unless you reject it in writing. (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 33-7-11<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Check your declarations page. It shows whether you carry UM coverage and its limits. The statute lets you choose the limits, so the limits on that page matter.<\/p>\n

Written rejection is the key detail. If you rejected uninsured motorist coverage in writing as the statute allows, that coverage does not apply. Look for signed forms in your policy file.<\/p>\n

Bring your policy and any signed forms to your first meeting.<\/p>\n

What Your Claim Can Include<\/h2>\n

Your claim can include medical bills, lost pay and other losses the crash caused, but each one must be supported with proof.<\/p>\n
