Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Claims in Indiana
Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims occur when there is a crash involving automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, or semi-trailers and the driver responsible for the crash does not have insurance (uninsured), or the driver responsible for the crash does not have enough insurance to pay for the damages (underinsured).
Injuries sustained in these types of crashes can be serious and even life changing. Because of the high cost of medical treatment when someone has suffered a serious injury, insurance companies often do not cover the full value of damages.
When a crash occurs and the responsible driver is either uninsured or underinsured, you will usually have to rely on your insurance company for coverage of your expenses. Often, insurance companies will resist paying your claim and you may find yourself struggling to make ends meet.
