Motor Vehicle Accident — Uninsured Driver
What Happened
Our client was rear-ended by another driver. The impact caused injuries that required medical treatment. When Jason began investigating the case, he discovered the other driver was uninsured – meaning the standard path to recovery through the at-fault driver’s insurance was not available.
The Problem With Uninsured Drivers
In New York, being hit by an uninsured driver does not mean you have no options – but it does mean you have to know where to look. Many injured people in this situation are told by insurance adjusters that there is simply no money available. That is often not the full story.
Finding the Coverage
Jason investigated the full picture of available insurance coverage – looking beyond the at-fault driver’s policy (which did not exist) to identify alternate sources of recovery. That investigation turned up a valid source of coverage that was not immediately apparent from the surface facts of the case.
This is the kind of work that makes a meaningful difference in cases involving uninsured or underinsured motorists: not accepting the first answer, and knowing where else to look.
The Result
The case resolved for $200,000. Our client – who could easily have been told there was no money available and sent home without compensation – received full and fair recovery because Jason found the coverage that others might have missed.
