Insurance Coverage for Pedestrian Accidents

Under Illinois law, insurance companies are required to provide $25,000 minimums for underinsured (UIM) and uninsured (UM) motorist coverage – higher coverage-limits are also available – to help pedestrians cover damages when they are involved in an accident.

An injured pedestrian who has an uninsured motorist policy (UIM) may be compensated by this 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. Regardless of the driver’s insurance status, an injured pedestrian may also be eligible for compensation from his/her own auto insurance company even though he/she was not driving when the accident occurred.

While your 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 are often difficult to predict.
