When you have been in an accident with an underinsured or uninsured driver, your insurance coverage will usually cover your damages, however, you do not have to rely on uninsured motorist coverage to get the money you need after an accident. In California, you have the option of filing a personal injury lawsuit for damages.
This lawsuit can be filed against the uninsured driver and/or any other person who may be responsible for your accident and injuries. Anyone whose negligence causes you harm can be held financially responsible.
Other potentially liable parties include:
It is important to understand that there may be limits to the amount of compensation you can recover from an at-fault driver in a civil lawsuit. If the driver did not have the financial resources to buy appropriate car insurance coverage, they may not have the assets or resources to compensate you for your injuries.
There have been cases where the injured party has won a lawsuit but been unable to collect damages because the defendant was incapable of paying. When you are injured by an underinsured driver, your attorney will search for other potentially liable parties with deeper pockets to pay for (at least some of) your damages.
