Helping People Injured by Uninsured or Underinsured Motorists
Drivers are required to carry automobile insurance in order to cover damages from an accident. Unfortunately, too many drivers take to the roads without automobile insurance or without sufficient levels of insurance. According to the Insurance Research Council, 5 percent of New York drivers do not carry insurance. Many more drivers only carry the minimum liability limits. Currently, these limits are $25,000 in injury liability for one person, $50,000 for an accident, and $10,000 for property damage. If you have been seriously injured, these insurance limits will not be sufficient to cover all of your expenses.
If you have been injured in an automobile accident, and the driver responsible for your injuries is not either uninsured or underinsured, you need to learn about all of your options. It is important to work with an experienced lawyer. I am Bronx underinsured driver accident lawyer Daniel A. Kalish. With offices in Westchester County, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I have 25 years of experience fighting for people who have been injured by another's negligence. I will locate every source of compensation for your injuries and help you recover your full measure of damages.
New York drivers are required to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. Under your UIM coverage, your own insurer "steps into the shoes" of the negligent driver. You may think that because you have faithfully paid insurance premiums that your insurer will willingly pay your claim. This is unfortunately not the case. All insurance companies, even your own, will do what they can to minimize the amounts of money they pay in claims.
I will prepare a strong case to demonstrate the full extent of your injuries. I will then forcefully argue your case to your own insurance company in negotiations. Many cases involving UIM claims are resolved in arbitration. You can rely on me to present a persuasive case and do everything within the law to help you achieve a successful outcome in your case.
