Uninsured Motorist Coverage May Apply in Your Case

Your ability to obtain compensation for an uninsured motorist accident through insurance may depend on the specifics of your policy. Uninsured motorist coverage may be of particular concern when your losses are the result of a motorist without an active auto insurance policy or with insufficient coverage.

Louisiana Revised Statutes (RS) §22:1295 states that car insurance companies in Louisiana must offer their customers uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM) coverage and that customers must intentionally reject UM coverage when selecting their policy to have it removed. Unless you have done this, then you may have automatically received some amount of UM coverage on your insurance policy.

You may want to use any UM coverage that you have been paying for through your insurance premiums after an accident with an uninsured motorist. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can handle your UM insurance claim and seek fair compensation on your behalf.

While you certainly have the right to handle your uninsured motorist insurance claim on your own, there are several reasons why you may choose to have a lawyer handle the process on your behalf.

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers understands the statutes and standards relevant to car accident cases and UM coverage in Louisiana. We can examine your accident, your losses, and read the fine print of your policy when we represent you. We can also handle all communications with your own insurance company on your behalf, so you do not need to be worried about making statements that may cause your insurer to reduce or deny your claim.

If your insurance company refuses to make you a fair settlement offer based on your accident and your UM policy, a New Orleans uninsured motorist accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to file a lawsuit against them on your behalf.

A Lawsuit May Be Appropriate for Your Case

Uninsured motorist insurance coverage may be the initial way that you pursue compensation, but it may not be the only way. Despite not having insurance, a motorist may have assets that are recoverable in a personal injury lawsuit should your losses exceed your UM insurance coverage.

Other circumstances in your accident could make non-driver third parties responsible for your losses. This may include:

  • An employer, if the uninsured motorist was driving a vehicle as part of their job
  • A municipality, if hazardous road conditions contributed to your accident in some way
  • A negligent car mechanic, if a mechanical failure caused your accident

Those who manufacture vehicles and vehicle parts could also be financially responsible if their product’s failure contributed to your accident or failed to protect you from harm in some way. In these and certain other circumstances, bringing a lawsuit may be an appropriate way for you to pursue compensation.
