Underinsured / Uninsured Motorists' Claims

Macon UIM and UM Claims Attorney

Filing an insurance claim is almost never easy. In fact, it almost seems as though insurance companies make it difficult on purpose.

We would not put it past them.

If you were hit by an underinsured or uninsured motorist, there may be options for recovering compensation of which you are unaware. For an evaluation of potential UIM or UM claims available to you, contact an experienced lawyer at Nelson & Smith, LLC today.

At Nelson & Smith, LLC, we help people who have been injured by an uninsured or underinsured motorist recover compensation from their own insurance carriers. Also known as first-party claims, UIM and UM claims seek compensation based on the amount of UIM / UM coverage purchased as part of the injured person's own automobile insurance policy.

If you purchased underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage under your policy, you have a legal right to have medical care and certain other losses (up to the limits on your policy) covered by your insurer. In addition to UIM and UM claims, there are other circumstances and potential sources from which you can recover some of your losses. For instance, if the driver who caused the accident is a teenager who lives with his or her parents, the parents' automobile policy might come into play. However, consulting with a lawyer about a potential auto accident claim as early as possible can increase your chances of obtaining all the compensation that may be available in your case.
