Will insurance help cover my personal injury?
The first person that you look to or first entity is the insurance company for the person that caused the accident. But it’s also good to have your own insurance. It’s called uninsured motorist coverage. That’s just in case the person that caused the accident does not have insurance, then you can file a claim with your own insurance company. One of the complex things about an automobile accident is oftentimes there are different types of coverage available for an individual to make a claim against. For instance, there’s the coverage that the driver who caused the accident has, there’s also oftentimes coverage that that person has in his household that maybe responsible for covering his accident, then as the injured party there maybe coverage in your own household, your coverage or a relative’s coverage in the household, and all of these coverages can come together to contribute to pay for the injuries that you’ve sustained I think the main point that I’m probably making here is it’s a very complicated process and one that you have to be familiar with in order to navigate properly. So it’s best to have an attorney and an experienced attorney who can navigate that process for you and with you.
