You pay nothing until we win
by Matthew C. Andrew - April 17th, 2024
No matter how you look at it, car crashes in Idaho Falls can be traumatic experiences. However, it’s a small comfort knowing that your insurance or another driver’s will kick in at some point.
Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, especially considering an estimated 14 percent of drivers are uninsured in the US. So, if you’ve been involved in a Middleton car accident with a driver who doesn’t have car insurance, you need to determine how to cover your losses.
At Andrew Injury Law, we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with an accident claim with a driver who doesn’t have insurance. Contact our Lewiston car accident lawyers for assistance right away.
You should know that there are steps you can take to help make the situation more manageable. Have a look below to learn what our attorneys advise:
In Idaho, uninsured motorist coverage is not mandatory but recommended, so you may have coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage is a failsafe built into a policy to provide a driver with protection if they are ever in an accident with another driver who is uninsured and proven to be at fault.
Should you have uninsured motorist coverage, you can file a claim against your own car insurance policy within 24 months (the sooner, the better) of the accident occurring.
Typically, your insurance will pay up to the maximum policy amount for uninsured motorist coverage benefits that you can use to cover your accident damages.
Yet, this isn’t always the case, as some insurers will do all they can to ensure you walk away with the lowest settlement possible. That’s why it’s best to speak with a lawyer about dealing with the insurance on your behalf.
At Andrew Injury Law, we understand that car accidents with uninsured drivers are complex and challenging to navigate. However, our Pocatello car accident lawyers have decades of experience serving clients who have been the victims of traffic accidents involving uninsured drivers. We know the law and can use it to increase your likelihood of obtaining compensation, whether through an insurance claim or lawsuit. So contact us here and let our team help you.

Matt was very helpful in explaining the law and setting realistic expectations about my mothers case. He listened to the facts and gave solid advice about what to do next. I know his time is valuable and limited so I appreciated his complementary consultation and advice. I will definitely turn to him in the future.
