Ohio Underinsured Motorist Accident Lawyer
It can become one of the biggest frustrations drivers have: getting into an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver. You have property damage and perhaps a serious injury, but it seems as if you have no options for recovery.
The state of Ohio requires all drivers to carry auto insurance, but it doesn't mean that everyone complies. Most responsible drivers pay extra on their policy for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The so-called UIM rider gives you an option to pursue a claim from your own insurance company. Unfortunately, your own insurance adjuster isn't likely to be on your side when it comes to seeking full and fair compensation. Despite years of paying premiums, you may find yourself treated as a hostile claimant.
At Caravona & Czack, we believe in your right to protect your financial interests after suffering injury and loss after a negligence accident. Our team of personal injury attorneys brings together more than 100 combined years of experience and knowledge of the insurance claims process. In the event you don't carry UIM coverage, we aggressively pursue other avenues for compensation, including Dram Shop laws in the event your accident was caused by a drunk driver.
Do You Drive a Government, Police Car or Corporate Car?
Many municipalities and businesses save money by excluding UIM coverage from their fleet of police cars and government cars. Police officers on duty and employees who use the cars during off-hours are therefore uncovered in the event of a UIM accident. Most auto insurance companies make it possible to pay a low premium up-charge to transfer the personal UIM coverage you carry on your privately-owned vehicle to include coverage for the fleet car you drive, as well. If you are not currently protected in your fleet car, it is a good idea to talk to your insurance agent about the expanded UIM coverage right away.
