Help for Connecticut uninsured motorists
Most motor vehicle accidents are resolved through the insurance company of the responsible person. Unfortunately, in spite of Connecticut’s uninsured motorist laws, many uninsured and underinsured drivers get behind the wheel every day and cause accidents and injuries. Hit and run accidents in Connecticut are also considered to be uninsured motorist accidents if the driver cannot be identified.
All Connecticut residents who own a motor vehicle are required to have auto insurance, including uninsured motorist coverage that can be used if injured in a hit and run accident or by an uninsured or under-insured driver. You are legally entitled to make a personal injury claim for damages against your own insurance policy. If you are seriously injured by someone with inadequate insurance, you can make an underinsured motorist claim against your own policy as long as the limits of your coverage exceed the coverage of the person at fault. The amount you can receive is generally limited by your uninsured motorist policy unless you have conversion coverage. But even if there are limits, it may still be worthwhile to pursue a claim if you are seriously injured.
Some people fear retaliation if they file a claim against their own insurance company. Do not worry—claims that you make under your uninsured motorist coverage are not chargeable to you. Your auto insurance premiums do not go up if you make a claim.
Before you decide whether to bring a claim against your own insurance company, contact a knowledgeable New Haven County auto accident injury lawyer like Dan Lyons to learn about your options to obtain fair, just, and reasonable damages for your injuries and related economic losses. Dan Lyons has more than 25 years of personal injury experience including Connecticut uninsured motorist and hit and run cases. He can advise you about the best way to approach an uninsured motorist claim for a serious injury.
