Stoughton Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers

According to government estimates, anywhere from 15 to 20 percent of drivers nationwide are either underinsured (that is, the maximum payout of their policies wouldn’t reasonably cover the total damage inflicted to property, vehicles or other individuals by a car accident) or completely uninsured.

As you can imagine, pursuing an uninsured driver for damages resulting from a car accident can be a complicated undertaking, but this doesn’t mean you should simply throw up your hands and agree to swallow the costs yourself. Our lawyers know that, in cases involving an uninsured driver, other, insured parties may be held at least partially accountable for contributing to the accident.

Holding Other Parties Accountable

Driving without insurance is often associated with other antisocial behaviors: for example, a significant number of uninsured drivers involved in car accidents turn out to have been driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If this is the case, it may be possible to take action against the restaurant or bar that served the customer alcohol, regardless of whether they were aware of the driver’s insurance status. Also, if the uninsured driver is not the owner of the car—and if that person drove the car with the owner’s knowledge and consent—then you may be entitled to pursue the car’s owner for damages, rather than the driver.

In Massachusetts, drivers are required to purchase underinsured driver insurance (that is, an insurance policy that makes up the difference if the other driver involved in an accident does not have sufficient insurance). If you are involved in an accident with an underinsured or uninsured driver, The Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan will work with your underinsured driver insurance company to ensure that they make good on your claim.
