Backed by more than a half-century of legal experience, Veatch Carlson, LLP, is dedicated to providing world-class defense and prosecution on behalf of its diverse clientele. Veatch Carlson, LLP, handles cases concerning motor vehicle liability laws and accidents involving uninsured motorists.
California requires all registered drivers to have the financial ability to cover any damages that arise due to a collision. Drivers who do not obtain a bond, self-insurance certificate, or liability insurance are considered uninsured motorists. Getting into an accident with an uninsured driver can affect how the injured party can receive compensation for any property damage or bodily harm.
While many car insurance policies offer extra coverage for accidents with inadequately insured drivers, it is not mandatory in California. People without uninsured-driver coverage can file a claim with their provider, but there is no guarantee the claim will be approved. Either way, motorists should consult with a qualified attorney before making an insurance claim.
