Providing Legal Representation to Those Injured by Uninsured Motorists

Thousands of motorists in the United States drive without car insurance, putting themselves and others at tremendous risk. When these motorists cause accidents, the legal process is complicated, further adding to the pain and frustration experienced by the injured.

If you have been involved in an accident caused by someone driving without car insurance, contact Hirshfeld & Hirshfeld online to schedule a free initial consultation.

The Process

A New York-registered motor vehicle is required to carry liability car insurance. Unfortunately, many motorists remain uninsured. Even if a driver has the minimum insurance coverage required, this amount is often insufficient to cover the potential cost of an accident. For this reason, underinsured motorists are a bigger threat than most realize.

Our attorneys have extensive experience representing individuals in all areas of personal injury, including those involved in auto accidents involving uninsured motorists.

Uninsured Motorist Insurance

Some drivers choose to carry uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance, in the event of injury in an accident involving someone without car insurance. Most car insurance companies offer uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance. This can be a valuable backup plan, preparing people for unfortunate personal injuries.

Typical Cases

We handle uninsured driver or underinsured motorist cases the same way we handle other vehicle accident cases. We do thorough accident scene investigation, often involving accident reconstructionists, engineers and traffic consultants.

If you carry uninsured motorist insurance, you may have a claim against your insurance company. Likewise, if the negligent motorist was underinsured, it may be possible to sue the insurance company for the remainder of the damages.
