St. Charles Underinsured Motorist Attorneys

Underinsured Motorist Attorney Serving Saint Charles, Saint Louis, Lincoln County, Warren County & nearby areas of Missouri and Illinois.

Missouri and Illinois require liability insurance, however, the state minimum is only $25,000.  This is often inadequate given the cost of medical care in Missouri and Illinois.  Obviously, the state minimum policies do not provide enough coverage for many crashes/ accidents.  Individuals injured the negligence of an underinsured driver be forced to cover their own medical and vehicle repair damages even though they were not at fault.

Underinsured motorist coverage is not required.  If an individual has secured adequate underinsured motorist coverage limits, individuals may be able to file underinsured motorist claims with their insurance companies up to the limits of the underinsured motorist limits.

Filing an Underinsured Motorist Claim

Filing an underinsured motorist claim should be pursued when another driver was at fault in an accident/ crash, and the at-fault driver/ motorist did not have enough coverage to compensate the other driver.

For instance, if a driver $50,000.00 of underinsured motorist coverage on your motor vehicle liability policy, and the driver was injured in a crash caused by another negligent driver.  If the value of your claim is $50,000.00, the responsible driver has liability policy limits of $25,000.00, and the insurance company for the liability insurance company (responsible driver) seeks to settle with you for their policy limits of $25,000.00, then the driver has an underinsured motorist claim against their insurance company for $25,000.00.

Individuals seeking compensation from their insurance companies as a result of the negligence of an uninsured driver should seek the help of a St. Charles/ St. Louis uninsured motorist claim attorney to help ensure fair compensation for the claim.
