Nowadays, there are a lot of uninsured motorists on our roadways. They are careless by nature, as they do not even bother to have registered vehicles or insurance coverage. It’s no wonder when they cause a serious car accident, they leave you holding the bag.
If you have uninsured motorist insurance coverage (UM), then at least you have a means to make a recovery for your losses. Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at the Harris Law Firm today to explore your rights.
UM cases are more complex than a liability case against the at-fault driver. In a UM case, your uninsured motorist carrier will stand in the shoes of the at-fault driver at trial.
In these accident cases, a serious personal injury law firm will file a lawsuit on your behalf against your own insurance company when they fail to pay you the benefits that you are due. Many times, your insurance company will assert that they have not denied your claim but, instead, do not value the claim in the same manner that we do.
Your insurance company has a duty to act fairly and honestly while settling your claim; we may pursue your rights with a Civil Remedy Notice of Insurer Violation with the Florida Department of Financial Services. In certain cases, the Department of Financial Services may fine or punish the insurance company for denying your claim. After the filing of the Civil Remedy Notice of Insurer Violation, your insurance company has 60 days to pay your claim.
This is not some game. You need a personal injury attorney who knows what he is doing. Contact the Harris Law Firm today.
