At the Reed Firm, our passion for people and obsession with justice drive us to help clients navigate complex insurance situations after an accident. Understanding your insurance policy limits is essential for maximizing compensation, as these limits dictate the maximum payout from your insurer. If you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist (UM) or an underinsured motorist (UIM), your own UM/UIM coverage becomes critical. These policies ensure you’re not left financially burdened when the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance.

Insurance Policy Limits: Know What You’re Covered For

Your insurance policy will specify coverage limits, which are the maximum amounts your insurance company will pay for damages after an accident. These limits are split into per-person and per-accident amounts. However, serious accidents often result in damages that exceed these limits, especially when it comes to medical bills, long-term care, and lost wages. That’s why understanding the specific limits in your policy and how they apply to your claim is essential.

At the Reed Firm, we review insurance policies in detail to help our clients fully understand their coverage and explore all possible sources of compensation. When necessary, we pursue underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) or uninsured motorist coverage (UM) to ensure our clients receive the financial support they need.

Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage: Protecting Yourself from Uninsured Drivers

In many cases, the at-fault driver may have no insurance at all. Despite legal requirements to carry insurance, many drivers are uninsured, and this can leave you without compensation unless you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. UM coverage protects you by stepping in to cover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering when the responsible driver cannot pay.

This protection is critical when accidents cause severe injuries and financial strain. At the Reed Firm, we work to ensure that you can access your UM coverage and receive the compensation you deserve, holding your own insurance company accountable for providing fair compensation under your policy.

Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage: Closing the Gap in Compensation

Even when drivers have insurance, their policies may not cover the full extent of the damages they cause, particularly in serious accidents involving significant medical expenses and long-term care. Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage provides additional protection by covering the gap between the at-fault driver’s insurance limits and the actual costs of your injuries and losses.

UIM coverage helps you recover the remaining expenses after the responsible driver’s insurance has been exhausted. The Reed Firm is dedicated to making sure that you maximize your UIM benefits, aggressively negotiating with your insurer to cover the full extent of your injuries and damages.
