Florida Injury Claims When There's Little or No Insurance Florida lawyers all too often have people coming into their office after an injury, accident or professional misconduct where there's a big insurance problem — there's isn't an insurance policy or the policy that the person who is alleged to be responsible for the accident or injury doesn't have enough coverage to meet the needs of the victim. Alan Sackrin can help not only those who who need help in the aftermath of an accident or misconduct where the party causing the harm doesn't have coverage, but he can also help those causing the harm who didn't have enough insurance coverage and are now facing someone suing them for money damages after an accident, crash or misconduct. 1. The Victim's Insurance Policy Benefits May Offer Coverage and CompensationFor example, in many Florida car accidents, the driver who caused the wreck may have no insurance or he (or she) may have a car insurance policy that is much too small to cover the needs of the people that were hurt in the crash. What happens then? An experienced Florida civil trial lawyer can help. Key here: insurance companies don't like to pay these claims and especially in uninsured or insufficient insured situations, insurance carriers may drag their feet (delay) or blatantly reject an uninsured or underinsured claim. Having an experienced Florida trial lawyer in these situations to negotiate and deal with the insurance company in a coverage fight can be a big help in getting coverage for losses paid from the benefits covered by the victim's own policy. 2. Lawsuits May Be Filed Against the Responsible Person Who Had No Insurance or Too Little Insurance CoveragePeople who have been hurt, wronged or injured due to the actions (or failure to act) of another may seek to have their losses covered by the person or company that is responsible for their harm. Insurance policies are purchased to protect against this risk; however, if the person causing the harm fails to buy insurance or if the policy limits aren't high enough then that doesn't excuse the person from legal liability. It just means that don't have enough insurance to cover what they are legally liable to pay. In these situations, lawsuits can be filed (and often are here in Florida) seeking judgment awards that will transfer the property of the responsible person or company to the injured person and accident victim to cover for their These can cover a wide variety of situations.
