Lawyer for Collisions Caused by Drivers Without Insurance in Leesburg, Virginia

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming. In addition to receiving treatment for the injuries you have suffered, you may need to have your vehicle repaired, or a car that has been totaled may need to be replaced. You may also struggle with financial issues due to large medical bills or time away from work. While insurance coverage is meant to address many of these issues, what can you do if the driver who caused the accident was uninsured?

Without an active insurance policy to cover your damages, you may worry about how you will pay for the expenses related to an accident. Fortunately, you still have legal options that may allow you to recover compensation. At Whitlock Law, our attorney can help you understand the best steps to take to protect your rights after being injured in a crash caused by an uninsured motorist. We will review your insurance policies, identify alternative sources of compensation, and work to ensure that you will have the financial resources you need during your recovery.

The Challenges of Accidents With Uninsured Drivers

Virginia law requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but some drivers may operate their vehicles illegally without the required coverage. Even when a driver does have insurance, their policy limits may be too low to fully compensate victims for serious injuries that occur in an accident.

Victims of accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers often face:

  • Expensive Medical Bills: Expenses related to emergency treatment, hospital bills, and ongoing care may add up quickly.
  • Lost Wages: The inability to work while recovering from an injury can strain a family's finances further.
  • Property Damage: Without the at-fault driver's insurer to cover repairs, victims may be stuck without a vehicle.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage in Virginia

Most auto insurance policies include uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. UM coverage allows an injured driver, passenger, or pedestrian to file a claim with their own insurance company when a driver who caused an accident has no insurance. UIM coverage may apply in situations where the at-fault driver's insurance limits are insufficient to cover the damages that have occurred. People may also receive coverage for a hit-and-run accident in which the at-fault driver fled the scene.

Although a victim will file a UM or UIM claim with their own insurance company, they may struggle to receive the proper coverage. An insurer may attempt to minimize the payout a policyholder will receive by disputing the severity of their injuries. In some cases, a claim may be denied outright. Our attorney can assist with UM/UIM claims, negotiate with insurance companies, and work to ensure that the proper coverage will be provided.

Other Potential Sources of Compensation

In addition to UM/UIM coverage, other avenues may exist for financial recovery:

  • Liability Claims Against Other Parties: In multi-vehicle accidents, another driver, a commercial vehicle operator, or a third party may share responsibility for a victim's injuries.
  • Product Liability Claims: If a defective vehicle or auto part contributed to the crash, the manufacturer may be held accountable.
  • Employer Liability: If the uninsured driver was operating a vehicle for work purposes, their employer may be responsible.

Our lawyer can help identify all potential sources of compensation. We will work to maximize the compensation an injury victim can receive, helping to ensure that they will have the resources they need during their recovery.

Legal Help for Victims of Uninsured Driver Accidents

The legal and financial factors involved in an uninsured motorist accident can be complex. In these situations, having an attorney on your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Whitlock Law assists victims in Leesburg by:

  • Reviewing Insurance Policies: We will make sure you understand the coverage available under the UM/UIM provisions in your insurance policy.
  • Investigating the Accident: We can collect the evidence needed to establish that another driver or other parties were at fault for an accident. This evidence will be used to support your claim for compensation.
  • Handling Insurance Communications: By negotiating with your insurance company or any other companies that provide coverage for an accident, we can protect you from unfair tactics that are designed to reduce or deny your claim.
  • Pursuing Alternative Claims: We will explore whether other parties may be liable, and we will file the appropriate claims or lawsuits to secure compensation on your behalf.
  • Providing Peace of Mind: Since we will be managing legal concerns and handling negotiations with insurance companies, you will be able to focus on your recovery.
