You should always have someone on your side and there is no better person than a experienced personal injury lawyer.

WHAT IF I HAVE SUFFERED INJURIES AND THE OTHER DRIVER OR NEGLIGENT PERSON DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE?

If you have been injured in a California car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, or pedestrian accident you are probably looking at the negligent party to make an insurance claim. Well, unfortunately some California drivers do not carry mandatory auto insurance. However, there is a solution to this problem. Your own insurance may be used to cover your personal injury claims if you have uninsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage will allow you to use your own automobile insurance to cover your personal injury claims. Please note that not everyone has this type of coverage as it is optional for most drivers so you should consult a local personal injury lawyer to discuss your personal injury claims and whether uninsured motorist coverage can be used in your specific circumstances.
