Virginia Car Accident FAQs

Q: What if the driver and the owner of the car that caused my injuries had only minimum coverage for bodily injuries caused in the accident?

You may still recover compensation for your injuries. This depends on whether you were occupying a car which had uninsured motorist coverage or you were covered by your own or a family member's insurance policy having uninsured motorist coverage at the time of the accident. If you are eligible for this coverage, you can often make a claim against the policy to recieve a settlement that is higher than the 'at fault' driver's insurance coverage allows. This is called an Uninsured Motorist Claim.

In order to protect your rights, we recommend you contact an attorney immediately to find out the time limitations involved in making an Uninsured Motorist Claim, as well finding out the requirements of the policy you must meet in order to make such a claim.
