Uninsured Motorist Accident Lawyer in Denver

Accidents Involving Uninsured Motorists

Although everyone is required to have insurance in order to drive in the streets of Denver, unfortunately this is not always the case. You may be involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist, which leaves you with costly medical expenses that must be covered. Fortunately, you may have Uninsured or Underinsured Motorists coverage (UIM), which you purchased as part of your own auto policy. This coverage allows for your own insurance company to cover your medical costs, lost wages and any other losses you suffered related to the accident.

New laws effective in 2008 in Colorado give rights to policy holders carrying this type of coverage. If you or another resident in your home have this coverage on multiple vehicles, you may even be entitled to the limits of each policy together to cover your losses, should they exceed the limits of the single policy. These new laws are complex and can make a big difference in the compensation you may receive when injured by an uninsured motorist. Consulting with a Denver car accident attorney who knows these laws is essential to protecting your rights to fair recovery of damages.
