Why You Need an Uninsured Motorist Attorney

Although you’re paying for and dealing with your own insurer for accident coverage, filing a UM claim can be a hassle. Your insurance company will still attempt to avoid paying you. An investigation will be conducted into the cause of the accident, your injuries, your medical treatment, and more. A UM claims attorney will protect you at every step by dealing with your insurance company for you. This will also deter your insurer from acting in “bad faith,” a term used for insurers that look for ways to escape their obligation to investigate the claim or to pay you.

As long as you have not opted out of UM coverage in writing, your injuries and the property damage you sustained in the accident should be covered under Alabama’s Uninsured Motorist law, depending on your liability limits. Working with a competent UM attorney will ensure that you receive the full and fair compensation you are owed.
