What if I Was Injured by a Driver Without Insurance? | Uninsured Motorist
If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Pennsylvania and the driver that caused the accident does not have insurance, your chances of recovery are going to be limited unless you have underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage.
Underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage provides an extra layer of protection in the event the car that caused the accident is uninsured or underinsured. In Pennsylvania, the minimum limits are $15,000. If the driver that caused the accident does not have insurance or has minimum limits, you’re not going to be fully compensated for your injuries unless you have UIM, which is referred to as underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage. I recommend that everyone makes sure you have that coverage. It doesn’t cost that much, and if you do purchase uninsured motorist coverage, ask your insurance agent about the stacking option.

What if I Was Injured by a Driver Without Insurance? | Choose an Experienced Attorney
If you’ve been injured in a car crash in Pennsylvania, you want to hire an attorney who’s handled car accident cases and personal injury cases in the past; an attorney who’s experienced in making claims to an insurance company and who’s not afraid to take a case to trial if the insurance company’s not valuing your case properly. A lot of times, people unfortunately hire an attorney who is not focused on personal injury, and when the time comes to go to trial, that attorney may settle that case for pennies on a dollar rather than take the case to trial because of the inexperience.
