UNINSURED MOTORIST When injured by an uninsured motorist, there are some important THINGS YOU MUST KNOW! First, you should know that if you were injured by an uninsured motorist, you have the right to file a claim for uninsured motorist benefits with your insurance company. Second, you should know that you do not have to accept what your insurance carrier offers you for your uninsured motorist claim and that you have the right to have your claim for uninsured motorist benefits arbitrated Third, you should know that your insurance company in an uninsured motorist claim is your adversary and will try to blame you for the accident and will otherwise make you prove each and every element of your claim, including that the other driver was the driver at fault or that you sustained injuries. THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO! First, you should get the names and addresses of all witnesses. Second, you should contact your insurance company that same day and advise that you are filing under the uninsured provisions of your policy. When doing this, do not give your insurance company a statement or allow them to record your statement as they are a potential defendant. Third, you should seek medical treatment immediately if you are injured. You should report to the doctor all parts of your body that are affected, even if the injury does not seem severe. Days later, the same injury that you thought was minor might be serious. Fourth, you should take pictures of your car. Finally, you should retain an attorney immediately.
