Who is Liable in a Crash With an Uninsured Driver?

You have the right to seek compensation from the liable party, in this case, the uninsured driver. Unfortunately, uninsured drivers may not own many assets, but this is not always true. Every case must be fully evaluated to determine how to best move forward in seeking compensation. Your own auto insurance policy must be fully reviewed to determine the maximum amount of compensation you have a right to recover, and we can help you resolve this vital issue as quickly and effectively as possible – while protecting your right to recover the maximum amount under the terms of your policy.

“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
John ColettiPartner
