Filing A Claim Against Your UIM Policy
Last updated on January 15, 2021
If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured driver time is of the essence. One of the first things that you need to do is to notify your insurance company of your intent to file a claim against your own underinsured motorist (UIM) policy. It is imperative that this is done as soon as it is physically possible because some insurers have strict notification deadlines regarding uninsured motorist claims. Depending on who your insurer is, you may have limited time to give them notification of your intent to file.
The Ticking Clock
If you have sustained injuries from your accident, the last thing that you want to do is spend your time down at your local police station, or courthouse trying to do research to find information that may or may not exist in the person that caused your accident. Often times in these types of accidents the uninsured motorist will refuse to provide any information, and some will even flee the scene before the police arrive.

Not The Typical Car Accident Case
