00:00:03 Some of our firm’s biggest cases involve motor vehicles versus pedestrians. And a lot of people wonder, how does insurance coverage work um on pedestrian accident claims? Well, first of all, we look to the person who caused the accident to see what kind of insurance coverage they have. If that vehicle is identifiable and we get the insurance information, that’s what covers the pedestrian accident. But most people don’t realize that the the pedestrian if they are listed as a driver on their own auto
00:00:33 insurance, they can be covered under their uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. So if the driver that hit them doesn’t have enough insurance, we can look to the pedestrian’s own insurance uh in order to make a recovery. Also, if it’s a hit-and-un accident, most people don’t realize that their own uninsured motorist coverage will protect them in an auto versus a pedestrian accident. It is very important in those circumstances that number one, you file a police report. Number two, you report it to the
00:01:03 insurance company as soon as possible. Those are requirements under the hit-and-run portion of a uh uninsured motorist policy. Look at we’re experts on uh uninsured motorists and underinsured motorist and it really helps in these auto versus pedestrian cases. If you have such a case, you should give us a call right away.
