1. When you are injured by another driver.
Every day, our law firm helps clients who are being treated unfairly by insurance companies.
Too often, the insurance company of the person who hit them is refusing to pay a fair amount.
This is when we can step in to ensure that they either offer a fair payment, or that they get sued.
2. When the other driver does not have insurance
Although it is the law in Arkansas to carry at least $25,000 in liability insurance, there are many instances where a driver does not follow the law.
Unfortunately, if you are hit by a driver who does not have insurance or assets, you may be left with severe injuries, property damage and no money to pay for it all.
To protect yourself, you should always carry Uninsured Motorist coverage, or UM coverage.
If you have this coverage, then your insurance can pay for damages you receive from an uninsured driver.
3. When the other driver does not have enough insurance
If the person who hits you causes more damage and injury than their policy covers, then you will need to rely upon your insurance coverage to make up the difference.
This is where Underinsured Motorist coverage, or UIM coverage comes into play.
UIM coverage is vital in car wrecks with significant injuries and damage.
Make sure that you and your family are adequately covered in case a driver who hits you does not have enough insurance.
4. When you are at fault
If you are at fault in a car accident, you need quality auto insurance.
The other driver may choose to sue you if your insurance company does not offer them a fair amount.
Please keep in mind that even though you may want your insurance company to pay the other driver to avoid a lawsuit, it doesn’t mean that the insurance company will pay.
If you have insurance from a trustworthy company with a reputation for paying valid claims, then your chances of being sued are reduced.
