Filing a Claim After Your Accident With An Uninsured or Underinsured Driver

Did you know that it is required by every auto insurance policy to provide coverage for accidents with uninsured or underinsured motorists in Connecticut? If you were struck by an uninsured motorist or a hit-and-run driver, you can bring a claim against your own insurance provider to seek compensation for the following needs of your accident:
  • Medical treatment
  • Repairs to your vehicle
  • Pain and suffering reparation

Just like a regular car accident, it is important that you still receive all the information that you can from the at-fault driver, repair costs to your car and any witness statements you can before you file a claim.

If you were struck and the at-fault driver fled the scene, you will want to record the following:

Damage to your car
Witness statements
Police reports
Estimates for repair

Covered Participants Of An Injury Claim

Underinsured or uninsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims from your insurance provider will generally cover not only you, but anyone living in your household, your spouse and your children, if they were involved in an accident. Some providers will also cover anyone in your vehicle at the time of the accident.

Before you decide to file a claim, it is recommended that you speak with an experienced Connecticut personal injury attorney and figure out if your coverage will provide compensation for all passengers, some passengers or just you. These uninsured and underinsured claims can be difficult to file properly, so consultation with and assistance from a trusted lawyer is important.

Our principal lawyer, Frank McCoy Jr., is certified in civil trial law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy – a certification that fewer than 0.5 percent of all Connecticut lawyers have earned.

Can you appeal a denied claim?

Did you file a claim to receive compensation for an uninsured motorist accident? Was your claim denied? This can be particularly frustrating, especially because you rely on your insurance company to act in good faith and assist you in your time of need – especially if you have paid your premiums and never faulted on payments.

If you filed for an uninsured motorist claim that was denied by your insurance provider, you can appeal your denial. Receiving the compensation that you deserve after an accident is important to you and your family. Proper reparation plays a vital role in helping you heal and repair the damages done to you emotionally, physically and of course, to your car.

Before you appeal a claim, make sure you do the following with an attorney's help:

  • Read through your policy and ensure that it covers uninsured motorists
  • Receive as much information about the denial from your insurance provider
  • Write a letter with the reason for your appeal clearly stated
  • Gather medical records to prove in front of a jury
  • Keep track of the appeals process

Are you looking to appeal your denial? You need to ensure that your claim is properly handled. With the guidance of our dedicated legal staff, you can rest assured that your claim will be appealed in a timely manner and that all actions will be taken to help you receive the compensation that you deserve after an accident.
