After a traffic accident, most drivers assume that the person at fault carries insurance that will cover medical bills, damages, and losses after an injury. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes other drivers don’t carry the insurance you need, which means added stress during an already difficult time. If you’ve been injured after an accident with an uninsured driver, you need to consult with a Nevada car accident lawyer who can help you understand your options.
Uninsured motorist coverage is a type of insurance available through your own auto policy that you can take advantage of when an at-fault driver does not carry insurance to cover your damages. Uninsured motorist coverage can usually be used to pay for your medical expenses, damage to your vehicle and other property, lost income as a result of the accident, and other expenses you may be facing.
Uninsured motorist coverage differs from your own liability insurance coverage because it covers your injuries and expenses when an uninsured driver is at fault in a vehicle accident. In contrast, your liability insurance coverage will pay for the injuries and expenses of other injured drivers if you are at fault in an accident.
If you carry underinsured motorist coverage in your policy, you can feel more confident about the future because the policy can make up the difference between what an at-fault driver’s insurance will pay and the amount you may actually need if you’ve been seriously injured.
If you’ve been in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, your Reno truck accident lawyer can help you recover compensation to cover all of your damages.
The state of Nevada does not require drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage. Although it is usually available as an option, state laws do not require drivers to carry it. Talk to your insurance agent about what options are available in your policy so you can be protected in case of an accident.
After a car accident, you may be facing many medical bills and property damage along with uncertainty about the future. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to recover compensation if the at-fault driver is underinsured. Carrying uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide compensation for these losses along with damage to your future earning potential, pain and suffering, and other damages.
