Uninsured / Underinsured Motorists Claim

If you are involved in a car accident, it is important to exchange contact and insurance information with the driver who hit you. Some drivers take the dangerous risk of driving without insurance, or buy only minimal coverage. The other driver's insurance policy may be far less than you need to cover your expenses.

In that case, we can pursue coverage through your insurance policy if you chose PIP or Personal Injury Protection coverage when you took out or renewed your automobile insurance coverage. PIP will cover up to 80% of your medical expenses, and pay up to 60% of your gross income if your injury prevents you from working.

Even though PIP coverage is mandatory in Florida, we find that many clients have insufficient coverage for a life-altering accident.

PIP is not a compensation source if you did not have PIP coverage before the accident occurred. We encourage all Florida drivers to check their insurance policies to make sure they have sufficient PIP coverage in case of a serious accident.
