WHY YOU NEED AN UNINSURED MOTORIST ACCIDENT LAWYER

In Utah, all drivers are required to carry auto insurance. Despite this, many drivers on the road are either uninsured or lack sufficient coverage to pay for the damages they cause. If you're hit by one of these drivers, you may be left wondering how you'll cover your medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs. This is where your own insurance policy and an experienced uninsured motorist accident lawyer come in.

Hit By An Uninsured Driver? 
We Can Help.

At True North Injury Law, our skilled team of personal injury attorneys will guide you through the process of filing an uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claim with your own insurance company. While it may seem straightforward, dealing with your own insurer can be challenging. They often prioritize their bottom line, aiming to pay out as little as possible.
Our lawyers will act as your advocate, handling all communications with the insurance company and ensuring they honor the terms of your policy. We meticulously investigate your accident, gather evidence, and accurately calculate the full extent of your damages—from medical expenses and future care needs to lost income and pain and suffering. We fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to under your policy.

Understanding Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Coverage in Utah

Wondering how uninsured motorist coverage works?
UM/UIM coverage is a vital part of your auto insurance policy designed to protect you in these specific situations. Here's what you need to know:
Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage steps in to cover your expenses if you are injured in an accident caused by a driver who has no car insurance. This can include medical bills, lost wages, and other related damages.
Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver has insurance, but their policy limits are too low to cover the full cost of your injuries and damages. Your UIM coverage can make up the difference, up to your policy's limits.
While liability coverage is mandatory in Utah, UM/UIM coverage is not. However, insurance companies are required to offer it. Opting for this coverage is a crucial step in protecting yourself and your family from the financial consequences of an accident with an irresponsible driver.
