If You Have Been in a Car Accident with a Drunk Driver who was either Uninsured or Underinsured, You Need an Experienced Car Accident Attorney who Has the Experience, Knowledge and Resources to Maximize your Potential Recovery.

Drunk drivers cause devastating injuries and millions of dollars of property damage every year. Tragically, many drunk drivers are either uninsured or underinsured, leaving the car accident victims without sufficient damages compensation. If you have been in a car accident and the driver was either uninsured or underinsured, your own auto insurance may provide the coverage you need to compensate you for your damages. 

At Howard Sussman & Associates, We Understand Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Insurance

Coverage for uninsured and underinsured drivers is unique. You do not bring the claim against the other driver; you bring it against your own insurance company. Car insurance companies would have you believe that obtaining full compensation for all of your damages takes a simple phone call. That is rarely the case. The process of recovering benefits can be difficult, frustrating and time-consuming. Claims are frequently underpaid, delayed or wrongfully denied. Hiring an experienced Minneapolis car accident attorney has definite advantages: The playing field is level, the settlement offers are usually higher, and you don't have to argue with an insurance agent over what is rightfully yours.

When a Drunk Driving Accident in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul Metropolitan Area Involves an Uninsured Motorist

In Minnesota, although drivers are required to have car insurance, a significant percentage of individuals involved in drunk driving accidents are uninsured. In the event of a car accident with an uninsured drunk driver, your uninsured motorist coverage should compensate you for those amounts that you would have been entitled were the other driver insured. Uninsured motorist coverage can cover injuries to you, your spouse, resident relatives and guest passengers riding in your car at the time of the accident. 

When a Drunk Driving Accident in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul Metropolitan Area Involves an Underinsured Motorist

Every year, drunk drivers are the cause of countless catastrophic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. In any car accident involving catastrophic injuries, there is a fairly good chance that the victim's damages will be higher than the other driver's car insurance policy limits. Underinsured motorists coverage can provide the additional compensation it will take to start compensating a drunk driving victim for his or her injuries.
