Your Options for Compensation if the Other Driver Is Uninsured
Getting into an accident with an uninsured driver can make you feel like you have no options for recovering your losses. By working with an attorney, you may still be able to get partial or full compensation—even if the other driver has no insurance. Some options may include:
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
The Indiana Department of Insurance (IDOI) requires all auto insurance companies to provide uninsured and underinsured coverage to compensate victims after an accident. Minimums include $50,000 per crash and $25,000 per person. This covers you in case the other driver does not have insurance. UIM coverage is available as long as you have not specifically rejected this feature of your insurance.
Insurance companies also provide coverage comprehensive and collision coverage that specifically covers you if you are in an accident with another vehicle. Underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage is typically added to any policy unless you request that you do not want it.
Filing a Lawsuit Against the At-Fault Party
Motorcycle accidents can cause severe injuries, which can lead to high medical bills. While UIM coverage can handle some of your expenses, you may incur debt that exceeds your policy limits. If so, you may have the option of suing the at-fault party to recover the remainder of your losses.
Disability Coverage
If you are permanently disabled or dismembered from the accident, you may qualify for federal or state disability aid. Our attorneys can help you file the paperwork and present a compelling case to get you benefits.
