  • What should you do if you’re hit by a driver with no insurance? The best course of action: protect yourself with uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance (UM/UIM) before an accident occurs. After an accident, contact an attorney to make sure you’re making correct decisions following a crash.

    Can I conclude an auto insurance contract with several insurers? When two or more insurance providers jointly cover my collision and comprehensive coverages. Is it possible to process auto policies with coinsurance?

    What if a driver in the same household (a relative) was not excluded , not listed and causes an accident with your vehicle ? (At fault)
    Would the insured vehicle's policy cover damages for the other party (not at fault) ?

      It's the policy holders fault for allowing access to the vehicle, & they're fault for not listing all drivers.

    Here is my situation. in the state of FL.
    A lady ran me off the road. Causing me to hit someone els's car that was parked on their driveway.
    The lady's car was not hit by my car because I swerved out of the way to avoid hitting her. No one was in the parked car that I hit.
    The lady is at fault but she has a suspended license, no insurance, and is driving her daughter's car not her own. I don't know her medical condition but she looks to be blind on her left eye.
    I have full coverage but I DO NOT have UM/UIM and my car is a total loss. I unfortunately also do not have rental coverage.
    Is there ANYTHING i can do?

    This took place in Illinois back in 2010 I was in an accident (determined to be my fault) in my father's van that he did not have insurance on. To get my license back I must 1. Get an SR22 2. pay off $8,000 towards the other driver's vehicle damage. I did not have that money then or now and was homeless from 2011 until 2014. I receive SSI due to a disability. I have a disabled/seniors ride free on public transit card but being able to drive again will help. I know I will need to get an SR22 but It is 2022 which is over 10 years, is there any way that the $8,000 will be forgiven?

    what does it cover? Does it cover a rental car?

    • @AskTheLawyersTM
      @AskTheLawyersTM  3 года назад

      Hi David, thanks for the question. A UM/UIM claim may cover a rental car, but it would be determined by the insurance policy purchased, as well as other specific facts of the case. If you have been in an accident, we encourage you to speak to an attorney to review the situation. Most car accident lawyers offer free consultations. Please understand we are not a law firm, and this is not legal advice. Reach out to this attorney featured in the video if you are in the greater Atlanta area, or another experienced attorney of your choice. Good luck.

      Then you file a claim with the at fault persons insurance company if they have it. If they dont and you can prove they are at fault then the only thing you can do is sue them for damages but good luck getting them to pay you.
