Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Accidents in Northern California

It is estimated that over 25% of California State drivers do not have any type of auto insurance. Even more drivers have barely any coverage on their existing insurance policies. These troubling car accident statistics are one of the top reasons for serious injuries, property damage and death in the State. While every person driving in California is legally required to have auto insurance, if you or someone you love has been involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver you may have to pay all the expenses associated with your accident out of your own pocket.

Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen has successfully represented injured clients involved in auto accident cases throughout Northern California for years. At GJEL, we believe that every person driving in the State should have adequate auto insurance coverage; and that if a driver does not have insurance they should not get away with not having to pay for damages that they caused.

If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, there is a possibility that your own insurance company may refuse to cover the accident as well. If there are injuries involved, or if a death occurred then criminal charges can be filed, but you still will not be reimbursed for any medical expenses or other costs associated with the accident. In fact, you may have to cover the costs of your vehicle repairs or replacement, medical bills, loss of work or any other related expense on your own. Do not let this happen to you! Contact GJEL for a free consultation today.

If you are concerned about the possibility of a future accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you should discuss the likelihood with your auto insurance provider.
