UNINSURED & UNDERINSURED MOTORIST CLAIMS
Eau Claire Uninsured Driver Lawyer
You were injured in a car accident, your vehicle was totaled.
Where can you turn for compensation for your injuries if the driver at fault for the accident didn’t have insurance, or enough insurance, to cover your bills?
At Herrick & Hart, our Wisconsin underinsured motorist attorneys help people who have been injured in car accidents caused by uninsured and underinsured motorists in northwestern Wisconsin, including Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Menomonie, Hudson, Rice Lake, Superior, Wausau, LaCrosse, and everywhere in between.
The fact is, if you were injured in an accident with an uninsured driver, the first place to look is toward your own insurance company. Do you carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage? If so, we can make a claim against your insurance company.
No insurance company wants to make a payment—not even to its own insureds.
The fact that it’s your own company doesn’t make it any less of an adversarial situation. While you’re looking to them for help, they’re looking at their bottom line.
Underinsured motorist coverage is similar, but not the same as uninsured motorist coverage. If the other driver DID have insurance, but it was insufficient to cover your injuries, you can sue your own insurance company for the additional money you need to be compensated.
For example, if your injuries and expenses added up to $100,000 but the young driver who hit you only carried $25,000 in coverage. You can sue your own insurance carrier for the remaining $75,000, given appropriate under-insured motorist coverage.
The Eau Claire uninsured driver lawyers at Herrick & Hart, will negotiate with your insurance company on your behalf, and will litigate your case in court if that’s what’s necessary to get you results.
We will examine all potential sources of compensation to secure the financial recovery you need.
