What Can I Do in an Accident If I Am Uninsured?
It’s possible for uninsured drivers, who are at fault in an accident, to cover personal injury fees with Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. If you are at fault, and are uninsured and flee the scene for that reason, it’s likely that you can face severe charges for the incident. If you have PIP insurance, up to 80% of your medical bills have the potential to be covered by your insurance.
What Should I Do If I’m Not at Fault?
If you are not at fault, but find yourself victim to a motor accident, the first thing that you should do is contact the police. After contacting officials, you should take pictures of any of the damage that you can immediately see on the scene, and be sure to not take the fall for any of the damages done until you’ve contacted your insurance company and corresponded with a lawyer.
In the days following the accident, it would be useful for you to obtain a copy of the accident report, which the police should have prepared after the incident. You should also reach out to your insurance company to obtain a property damage valuation to file a proper assessment of the potential costs to cover the damages done to your vehicle.
If you feel any discomfort, or any money comes out of pocket to cover medical visits or fees, this should also be documented. If you happen to miss workdays or pay periods as a result of the accident, you should also take these expenses into account.
What Happens if the Person at Fault is Uninsured?
If you get in a car accident with an uninsured motorist, there is room for you as a victim to receive uninsured motorist claim payouts. This essentially means that your insurance company, once you’ve reached out to them, can request a payment from the person who is uninsured based on the terms of your policy.
The insurance industry recommends that motorists who are uninsured carry a minimum amount of $100,000 per person via UIM coverage. It’s very common that uninsured motorists flee the scene prior to an accident that they’ve caused, because it is illegal to operate a vehicle without insurance. That being said, if you are the victim of an uninsured motorist, gather as much information as you possibly can at the time of the accident, contact officials, and be sure to tend to any discomforts or injuries sustained by the incident immediately.
