Possible Options for Financial Recovery After a Crash with an Uninsured Driver

Several options exist for recovering compensation following a Huntington collision with an uninsured driver. We will help you determine which of the following best meets your needs:

Navigating Your New York No-Fault Insurance

The first place many injured car accident victims turn for compensation is their own personal injury protection (PIP) policy. This type of no-fault insurance pays for some of your related expenses regardless of fault, including:

• Medical care
• A portion of your lost wages
• Related expenses

However, PIP policies are not necessarily meant to pay for all the damages resulting from serious injuries. If your injuries require extensive treatment or significant lost time at work, you may quickly reach your policy maximum. 

Your Uninsured Motorist Coverage

According to the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS), you must carry an uninsured motorist insurance policy as a part of your mandatory coverage. If this is something you are not familiar with, don’t be alarmed thinking you did not purchase that coverage, it is made a part of the New York automobile insurance policy that you already have.  When an uninsured driver causes a collision, this policy covers damages—up to policy limits. It provides coverage for:

• You
• Family living in your household
• Occupants of your vehicle when the accident occurs

This is often the best option for those who suffered severe injuries in a crash that an uninsured motorist caused.  (While uninsured motorist coverage is part of your policy, the required amount is set at a minimum level of coverage.  Relatively speaking, the premium to increase this coverage, which is so important, is inexpensive and is something you may wish to review with your insurance broker or insurance carrier to make sure that you and loved ones are adequately protected if you are in an accident with an uninsured motorist.) 

Suing the At-Fault Driver

If you suffered serious injuries, you have a right to sue the uninsured driver who hit you. Our team will help you determine if this is a viable option based on the details of the case. We will uncover if the driver has assets that could compensate you if we win a verdict on your behalf.

Deadlines for Taking Action After a Suffolk County Crash with an Uninsured Driver

We must consider the deadlines that apply when going to work on a collision case in Huntington. If we file an uninsured motorist claim or sue the driver, we will need evidence that proves they caused the crash and the value of your damages. 

Investigating traffic accidents takes time, and some steps require us to go to work immediately, such as: 

• Canvassing for witnesses and interviewing them
• Seeking video of the crash
• Surveying the accident scene for skid marks and other evidence

We also need to decide if suing the liable driver is necessary as soon as possible. We only have a limited time to take legal action under New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214. 

The earlier you connect with us, the sooner you can help build your case by hiring our team to represent you. This will give us the greatest opportunity to gather evidence and develop a strong argument to support a claim or lawsuit.
