Many lawyers shy away from uninsured or underinsured motorist car accident claims. We understand why, because these cases are quite difficult. Hit-and-run crashes are a good example. A driver who immediately flees the scene of an accident is challenging to locate. Furthermore, the driver, once located, is often uninsured.
To right these wrongs, the Uninsured Motorist Accident Attorney in California at the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim roll up their sleeves and get to work. Uninsured driver accidents are often complex, so a team must put in more time to obtain maximum compensation for victims. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering.
California’s negligence law is based on the simple “you break it, you buy it” principle of responsibility. In a perfect world, tortfeasors would voluntarily take responsibility for their mistakes. However, we don’t live in an ideal world, so an uninsured motorist accident in Los Angeles must be involved.

Operator impairment and aggressive driving breach the duty of reasonable care. This legal responsibility requires drivers to avoid accidents and always obey the road rules.
If a breach causes injury, an Uninsured Motorist Lawyer in Los Angeles can obtain the above compensation. Generally, car crash actions settle out of court on victim-friendly terms.
Hit-and-run wrecks require an additional step: tracking down the tortfeasor. Criminal hit-and-run investigations often go nowhere. However, a Los Angeles uninsured motorist lawyer must only find the vehicle’s owner, perhaps using a partial plate number. It’s more likely than not that the owner was driving the car at the time.
Attorneys must also deal with potential negligence defences, such as comparative fault, that shift blame for an accident from the tortfeasor to the victim.
Obtaining Compensation
Several alternatives are available if the tortfeasor lacks insurance to cover all economic and non-economic damages.
Many wrecks involve third-party liability, such as respondeat superior employer liability. Employers are financially responsible for damages if their delivery drivers or other employees are negligent during the course and scope of their employment.
A UM/UIM insurance claim is also an option. Many people add uninsured and underinsured motorist riders to their policies. Usually, UM/UIM premiums are low, and the coverage level is high. These riders pay damages that the tortfeasor’s insurance policy, if any, does not cover.
The most straightforward approach in these cases is personal tortfeasor liability. Many individuals are effectively judgment-proof, but they usually pay something to avoid credit liens. Alternatively, the victim can sell the unpaid judgment to a debt collector.
