Were You Hit By an Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist?

Helping car accident victims recover compensation

After a car accident, insurance companies pay for damages - including medical expenses and property damage. But sometimes an accident involves a driver who does not have any car insurance or does not have enough. The car accident attorneys at Gervelis Law Firm helps the injured find the best possible outcome in these complex situations.

In Ohio, all drivers are required to carry a minimum amount of auto insurance. Insurance companies also offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, but it is optional. However, it is a very good idea to have it, as it can protect you if you are hurt in an accident with a driver who uninsured or underinsured.

    If you don't have this coverage, your options are limited after such an accident. If the other driver was underinsured, you can pursue a claim up to the amount of coverage. But it may fall short of covering the damages you suffered in the crash.

    If the other driver was uninsured, you could try to recover damages by filing a lawsuit against that person. But the driver may not have many assets. And even if you win the case, it could be years before you receive any compensation.

    We help explore all options for compensation

    Our attorneys have dealt with many cases involving uninsured and underinsured drivers. We know the impact a car accident injury can have on you and your family. That's why we will explore every avenue to help you recover the compensation you need and deserve for your injury.

    Even if the other driver has some insurance, insurance companies will still try to pay you as little as possible. They may blame you for what happened or question the extent of your injuries. We know the tactics that insurance companies use and we don't put up with them.

    Our legal team will investigate your crash to find out what really happened and who was at fault. We review all documentation and seek to preserve all evidence. We interview all witnesses. If needed, we will consult with accident reconstruction specialists and other experts who can help us establish negligence.

    We work to build a strong case that establishes the negligence of another led to your injuries. If the driver was underinsured, we will seek the full amount of coverage for compensation, then explore other ways to get you the rest of the money you deserve.
