Uninsured/Underinsured Minnesota Motorist Car Accident Attorney

A serious car accident is traumatizing and scary, especially one that involves injuries. Once you’ve recovered from the shock and try to collect the at-fault driver’s insurance information, you may discover that they are either uninsured or underinsured. Obviously, you will become worried about how your damages will be covered. Now, you’re even more frightened because you’ve suffered both property damage and physical injuries that will require medical treatment, along with other damages like lost wages.

Irresponsible Minnesota Drivers Who Are Uninsured or Underinsured

When a driver is careless or reckless enough to cause a serious car accident, they may also be careless about other responsibilities. Perhaps their coverage has been canceled because of other accidents they’ve had or because they failed to pay their premiums, or maybe the coverage available is simply inadequate to fully compensate you for your damages.

 If this is the case, it will be necessary to recover damages from your own insurance company under your uninsured/underinsured auto policy. You should know that negotiating a settlement with your insurance company can be challenging. The underinsured/uninsured coverage provisions are subject to specific conditions and should be carefully evaluated to ensure your claim is being presented precisely in the right way. Your ability to recover damages under your underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage is dependent upon filing a claim correctly.

How Are You Going to Pay for All These Damages if the Driver Didn’t Have Proper Coverage? 

The cost of repairing your vehicle, or replacing it if it was totaled, can be prohibitively expensive for you or cause other financial problems. Worse yet, if you were injured, how will you pay your medical bills? And what if a passenger in your car is seriously injured? Who is going to pay for all this?

Often, car accident victims think they may be out of luck when an uninsured or underinsured driver hits them. But that’s not true if you have the proper coverage. In Minnesota, you are required to carry no-fault coverage with your own auto insurer and they will pay at least $40,000 (the minimum coverage required by law) towards your accident, or depending upon the additional amount of coverage you purchased. The amount of coverage is divided equally for property damage and towards your medical expenses.

Difference Between Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Your uninsured motorist coverage insures you and the passengers in your car who suffered bodily harm caused by an uninsured driver. If another driver was permitted to use your vehicle, they may also be able to recover damages through your uninsured motorist coverage.

Underinsured motorist coverage is similar to uninsured motorist coverage. The difference between the other driver’s insurance limits and your damages will be paid. For example, if the at-fault driver’s insurance policy only covered $30,000 in damages, but your damages exceeded that amount, your underinsured motorist coverage should pay the difference.
