It may seem like you are in a lose-lose situation after an uninsured motorist accident. However, that is not necessarily the case.

An attorney will also examine your insurance policy as well as the other driver’s assets to explore all routes for securing compensation for your injuries and property damage expenses.
In the state of Colorado, every driver on the roadway is required to purchase and maintain the following types of insurance:
However, according to data from the Insurance Information Institute (III), at least 16% of all Colorado drivers are uninsured, but the true number may be as high as 30 percent. This is a very high number, particularly when compared to the rest of the country.
One of the first places individuals struck by uninsured drivers should look to recover compensation is their own insurance carrier. We strongly encourage all drivers to purchase and maintain uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. This coverage will help in the event drivers are struck by someone without insurance.
When we look at data available from the Colorado Department of Transportation, we can see that there were more than 22,000 total vehicle collisions reported in Denver County during the latest reporting year. This county saw more vehicle accidents than any other during that year, which is why we strongly encourage every driver to purchase uninsured motorist coverage.
In some cases, it may be necessary to file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver who caused the incident. These cases can become complicated, particularly if the at-fault driver does not have significant assets in their name.
If you or somebody you love has sustained an injury or property damage caused by an uninsured driver, you need to speak to an attorney as soon as possible.
