An Overview Of Motorist Coverage
About 14 percent of Americans do not have any form of auto insurance. Involvement in an auto accident with an uninsured driver can make it difficult to recover losses. You may be able to make a claim against your own policy if your auto insurance includes uninsured motorist coverage.
The at-fault driver’s insurance may not completely cover the total cost of damages. When an injury victim finds themselves in this situation, having an experienced auto accident attorney review their insurance policy is advised. A lawyer will be able to determine if you are eligible to receive compensation for the amount of money that exceeds the at-fault driver’s coverage from your own policy.
An Overview Of Hit-And-Run Coverage
If your insurance policy includes uninsured-motorist coverage or under-insured motorist coverage, you can make a hit-and-run claim with your auto insurance provider. If successful, your insurance company will act as if it were the at-fault driver’s provider and cover your losses.
However, if this is the case, the insurance company may not have your best interests at heart. Their primary goal is to ensure that they pay policyholders as little as possible in the event of a claim. With this in mind, it’s a wise decision to have one of our experienced hit-and-run lawyers by your side to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your losses.

The Costs Involved And How We Can Help You
When the at-fault driver is not insured or has limited insurance coverage, it can become even more difficult to recover damages. It’s also important to note that Connecticut auto accident victims may only be able to recover losses if the at-fault driver either has auto insurance or sufficient assets to cover damages. If you are unsure if you have a case or not – rest assured that we offer a 100% FREE initial case evaluation. This process allows our clients to supply us with the details of their incident, which our attorneys will then review to determine if there are grounds to file a lawsuit. If so, we will advise you on the best way to move forward with proceedings. In the event that a lawsuit is filed, we work on a contingency basis, which means that we only charge you for our fees and services if we obtain a verdict or settlement for your case.
