What Happens If The Other Driver Is Uninsured Or Has Low Insurance?

If a negligent driver has injured you, you are entitled to seek compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Dealing With Uninsured And Underinsured Drivers

Many people are aware of the problem of uninsured drivers on our roads. However, a more common problem is drivers who carry only the minimum amount of liability insurance, which is $30,000 in North Carolina. If you suffer a serious injury, that $30,000 will not go far in covering your hospital bills, lost wages and other losses.

Your insurance company is required to provide you with uninsured motorist (UM) coverage in North Carolina to protect you from drivers who carry no insurance. Your insurance company is also required to provide you with underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage equal to your liability coverage unless you sign a waiver declining it. There are also other types of insurance, such as umbrella coverage, which may apply in accident cases. During your free initial consultation, our attorneys will review your insurance policies and help maximize the coverage available to you.

Increasing your own insurance coverage, including your liability coverage, is the best way to ensure that you are fully protected in the event of an accident.
