Dealing With Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist Accidents
It can be a disheartening and even terrifying moment when you realize that a driver who has caused thousands of dollars in property and personal damage doesn't have the insurance to cover a serious car accident. Despite the law, many of the drivers on Tennessee interstates and highways have no insurance at all, and even those that meet the bare minimum of $25,000 of coverage aren't equipped to deal with a serious accident.
Considering that medical expenses alone following a major injury from a car wreck can total tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, the risk for encountering an underinsured motorist is great. At Ralph Brown & Associates in Knoxville, Tennessee, our attorneys work with people who have been injured in a car, truck, motorcycle or other motor vehicle accident to recover the full and fair compensation they need.
Negotiating With or Litigating Against Insurance
Often when you suffer a personal injury as a result of an uninsured driver, you may be forced to deal with your own insurance company to get a proper recovery. Too frequently, this means that the company that has promised to be there when you need it most and to which you have paid countless dollars in premiums becomes a roadblock in getting a monetary recovery and perhaps even proper treatment.
Our lawyers have helped thousands of people understand how to work with their insurance company following an injury-related accident. We guide you through the process of recovering needed compensation, or we take over as your advocate to deal directly with your insurer.
It is important to understand that being struck by an uninsured or underinsured motorist doesn't mean you won't get the money you need to pay for hospital bills or lost time from work. We educate, inform and counsel clients on the options available, and we can help you find avenues toward recovery.
