Even though drivers in Illinois and Missouri are required to carry liability insurance, some drivers have no insurance or not enough to cover the costs of the damage that occur in an auto accident. This could leave those injured in auto accidents with no coverage for what may be costly medical care.
Fortunately, most insurance policies include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage as part of a policy. These policies provide coverage for accidents where the party causing the accident does not have any or enough insurance to cover the damages they caused.
If you have been involved in an accident with someone who has no insurance or who has insufficient insurance, you can turn to your own insurance policy for the necessary coverage.
However, in many instances, insurance companies are reluctant to pay out the real levels of compensation that are needed. We can help you secure the full compensation to which you are entitled to under your insurance's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
