As an accident victim, you or a dear one is entitled to claim compensation for the injuries caused in the accident, be it a motor-vehicle or slip and fall accident. The compensation claim is usually paid out by the at-fault party’s insurance company, when a personal injury claim is filed against them. A Watert personal injury lawyer can provide a swift, genuine and comprehensive assessment of the merits of your claim in an initial, no-obligations free consultation. One of the issues that cause most concern in personal injury cases is when the person/s responsible for the accident is uninsured, under-insured or is not financially stable enough to make a settlement.
As our Watert car accident lawyer can advise, if the person responsible for your injuries in a car accident is uninsured, an uninsured driver claim can be filed against your own insurance company. However, this depends on whether the victim has such coverage. The value of the claim would depend on the amount of coverage available. This is relatively rare, because most drivers are compulsorily required to have insurance coverage. In the case of slip and fall accidents, our Watert slip and fall accident lawyer would have to conduct independent investigations to establish the ownership of the property. The claim is usually made against the owner’s homeowner’s insurance policy or their business liability policy. In the absence of these, our accident injury lawyers would have to examine the financial status of the at-fault party to determine the amount of compensation that they can be expected to pay.
Hence, in the case of slip and fall accidents and under-insured/uninsured at-fault parties, our Watert injury lawyers may seek to put a lien on the property to meet the claim. If there are other parties involved, the compensation settlement has to be shared among them. If the at-fault party is truly without any assets or money to meet the claim, it would be wise to consider other options. Collecting a settlement from such parties can be a challenging task, calling for the skills, expertise and knowledge of an experienced personal injury lawyer who has dealt successfully with similar cases.
