Nothing can ruin your day more than getting into a car collision—unless the crash is with an uninsured motorist. It’s estimated that anywhere from 5 to 15% of drivers in the U.S. have no auto insurance policy or are driving with a lapsed insurance policy. If you didn’t cause the accident, you still have the right to seek compensation from the driver who did, even if they don’t have insurance, but your claim may get complicated. Our Ventura County, CA, uninsured motorist accident lawyer is here to help. Call Barry P. Goldberg today for a consultation.
Uninsured Motorist Accident Lawyer Ventura County, CA
Car accidents, even in situations where both drivers aren’t going very fast, still cause painful injuries and considerable property damage. In higher-speed car accidents, there’s a much higher chance that you’ll suffer debilitating, painful injuries requiring intensive medical care to treat. Many car accident victims require surgery and months of physical therapy to regain their physical abilities, with no guarantee that they’ll return to the same condition they were in before the wreck.
Many people may miss work to recover from their injuries, which puts a strain on family finances, especially as medical bills continue to mount. Usually in a car accident claim, the at-fault driver’s insurance pays for the medical costs incurred by the victim, plus replenishing lost wages from time missed at work and other out-of-pocket expenses. Car accident victims are also entitled to a fair amount for their pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.
Our Ventura County uninsured motorist accident lawyer can help you assert your rights after a collision. We can guide you through filing an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance company and explain other legal options open to you. This can include filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver, holding them personally liable for your damages, and petitioning a judge to garnish their wages or take other appropriate legal action to get you the money you’re entitled to.
If the other driver doesn’t have insurance, you still have the right to seek damages from them; it’ll just be a different party paying them.
