If an uninsured motorist caused an accident that injured you, who will compensate you for your injuries? Uninsured motorists are unlikely to have personal assets to cover your expenses. A study by the California Department of Insurance found that uninsured drivers are more likely to be young, transient and have incomes of $20,000 or less.

Many people are not aware that the uninsured motorist provisions of their own insurance policies are available to compensate them for damages caused by uninsured and underinsured drivers.

Turning to Your Own Policy

Most insured drivers have uninsured motorists coverage. In California, uninsured motorists' coverage is included in every auto insurance policy unless it is specifically denied in writing by the insured.

When you are making a claim for benefits, your insurance company perceives you as an adverse party — someone who wants their money. Their priority is to pay as little as possible to you in benefits. In these situations, it is important to be represented by an experienced attorney who understands the insurance industry.
