Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

Seattle-Tacoma car accident UM/UIM Claim Lawyers

In many collisions, the at-fault party's insurance policy limits are inadequate to cover their victims' claims, leaving the victim and their family searching for other avenues of relief. Hit-and-run collisions and accidents involving uninsured motorists cause similar problems. Serious injuries resulting from a car accident or other motor vehicle accident can create significant expenses. An injured individual may need surgery, physical therapy, rehabilitative care, counseling, or vocational rehabilitation. In addition, in the recovery process, the injured person may be incapable of working temporarily or permanently, causing tremendous financial strain.

Bishop Law Offices, P.S. -- Maximizing Automobile Accident Injury Compensation

Contact our personal injury attorneys for assistance.

At Bishop Law Offices, P.S., we understand our clients need to be fully compensated following a car accident. Unfortunately, some insurers are happy to collect premiums but then refuse to treat their customers fairly after a loss. We utilize our extensive knowledge of uninsured motorist (UM), underinsured motorist (UIM), and personal injury protection (PIP) laws to help clients recover the maximum compensation they are entitled to -- from all available resources.

• UM/Uninsured Motorist Claims: When an individual is injured in a hit-and-run car accident, or when an at-fault driver does not have insurance coverage to compensate the injured victims, many believe they are at a loss. However, uninsured motorist coverage enables the injured individual to seek compensation under their own policy without penalty for the car accident.
• UIM/Underinsured Motorist Claims: When the at-fault driver in a car accident has insufficient insurance coverage to provide full compensation to the injured individual for medical expenses and other damages, the injured victim may seek additional compensation through their own UIM policy without penalty.
• PIP/Personal Injury Protection: Regardless of fault, PIP insurance offers coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses following an auto accident. Washington insurance companies are required to offer PIP coverage under a consumer's insurance policy, unless the individual waives PIP coverage in writing.
