An uninsured at-fault driver is one of the most frustrating discoveries accident victims face in Florida after a crash. Many people assume bodily injury coverage is mandatory,  Florida law does not require drivers to carry it.

Why This Leaves Victims Without Recourse

As a result, even when another driver’s negligence clearly causes serious injuries, there may be little or no insurance available to cover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. This can leave injured individuals struggling to recover financially after an accident.

This is why uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM) coverage is so important. UM coverage on your own policy can step in to help cover your losses when the other driver cannot fully compensate you.

Understanding your coverage before an accident occurs can make a significant difference in protecting yourself and your family. If you were injured by an uninsured at-fault driver,  our office can help.
