If you are injured by a driver with inadequate or no insurance we will pursue uninsured / underinsured benefits on your behalf to maximize your recovery.

Uninsured Motorist Insurance protects you from negligent drivers who do not carry adequate insurance. Connecticut law requires each car to carry $20,000 insurance for bodily injury to one person and 40,000 in insurance for all injuries in one accident. This is referred to as $20,000 / $40,000 limits. If you or a loved one is seriously injured by a negligent driver and that driver has only $20,000 in insurance, your recovery will be limited to $20,000 unless you have uninsured motorist coverage that exceeds $20,000. Here’s an example: A person is seriously injured in a motor vehicle collision and is out of work for 6 months, losing $50,000 in wages. If the injured person has uninsured / underinsured coverage of $100,000 he or she will be eligible to recover up to $100,000 for his injuries, the difference between his coverage of $100,000 and the other driver’s $20,000.

One of my first questions is “How much uninsured motorists coverage do you have?” They learn that day that they only have the bare minimum limits of $20,000. Their recovery is limited to $20,000.
