Advocates for Victims Injured by Uninsured Motorists
For example, motor vehicle operators in Mississippi must carry a minimum of 25/50/25 liability insurance on their vehicles, which means $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Unfortunately, some drivers carry too little or no insurance; leaving their victims to pay for the damages themselves. Each state may vary their requirements.

A personal injury lawyer will first review your auto insurance policy to determine if it includes coverage for uninsured motorists. If so, they will guide you through the legal process to ensure that you obtain fair and full compensation up to the policy’s limits. If the accident was not your fault, your auto insurance premiums will not increase just because you file a claim.

Uninsured motorist claim – Case study
We received a call from a person that had been injured in an accident. She had previously called another attorney’s office and was told that because the person at fault did not have insurance, they could not help her.
We asked her if she had uninsured motorist coverage. She did not know at the time but called her agent and discovered that she did have coverage.
We were able to settle her case. UM Coverage is coverage that applies when a person at fault does not have insurance or does not have enough coverage. In some states, such as Mississippi, UM Coverage can be stacked. For an explanation of UM Coverage contact us by completing the form to the right or calling us.
