Uninsured / Under-insured Motorists

California Uninsured Motorist Protection

As a lawyer, I am always happy to find that my client has invested a few dollars in uninsured and underinsured motorist protection. It has been estimated that roughly one in three California motorists either have no insurance or the insurance they have is insufficient. If you are injured as a result of a collision with one of these drivers, uninsured motorist protection is the key to recovering full compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages. - San Mateo attorney Reuben J. Donig -

Uninsured motorist coverage protects you in any roadway accident

If you were struck by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, and your auto insurance policy includes uninsured motorist protection, your policy will cover your medical expenses — even if you weren't driving your car. You may have been injured in a pedestrian, bicycle, or motorcycle accident, you may have been driving a rental car, or you may have been a passenger in another person's auto.

Uninsured motorist protection covers members of your household

If you share a residence with a family member who has car insurance, you may be covered under his or her policy, even if you don't own a vehicle. For more information, see the following:
