Understanding Uninsured Motorist Coverage

 
In Florida the basic insurance coverage one must carry in order to drive on the roadways may not be enough insurance to cover all the damage and medical treatment that is often needed after a car accident. In some cases, even though it is law in Florida to carry a specific amount of car insurance, some individuals drive without any insurance at all. If you are in an accident with a motorist that does not have enough coverage or no insurance at all, you will end up paying for damages or medical bills out of your own pocket.

The main reason that many Florida residents opt to carry uninsured/under insured motorist coverage is for that reason alone.

Uninsured/under insured motorist covers you when the other driver at fault does not have insurance or does not have enough coverage to pay for your injuries. This type of coverage only pays once the other drivers insurance has reached their limits of coverage.

There are problems that can occur with uninsured/under insured motorist coverage such as if the uninsured/under insured insurance carrier must agree to accept the money from the driver at fault. At this time, you will need to contact a car accident attorney.

Not only can the uninsured/under insured carrier deny the money from the other driver but they can also fight your claim. Reasons can be that you were partially at fault in the accident, that your injuries are not as bad as claimed, and so on and so forth.
