Accidents with Uninsured Drivers

If you’ve been involved in a traffic accident as a pedestrian, finding out that the driver is underinsured or uninsured can be like adding insult to injury, and a financial burden to what should be a peaceful recovery. However, insurance companies are required under Illinois law to provide a $25,000 minimum for underinsured (UIM) and uninsured (UM) motorist coverage, and higher coverage-limits are also available.

Underinsured or uninsured motorist insurance coverage can provide compensation when the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage is insufficient by itself. An injured pedestrian may be compensated under their own uninsured motorist policy provided that the driver was at-fault for the accident, the driver’s underinsured/uninsured status can be certified by the Secretary of State, and (in accidents involving a hit-and-run) a police report was filed.

While this insurance coverage can be helpful if you’ve been the victim of a pedestrian accident, you want to ensure that your rights are protected and you can receive a legal settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries and losses, including present and future medical expenses which can be difficult to predict.
