Uninsured Motorist Accident Injury Claim
An uninsured motorist accident injury claim gives an injured person a way to seek recovery when a driver without proper insurance causes a crash. In Chicago and throughout Cook County and Lake County, many drivers carry little or no insurance. This leaves accident victims facing medical bills, lost income and long recoveries with limited support.
The lawyer at Frederic H. Everly, P.C., represents underinsured car accident victims across Chicagoland and fights to secure the accident compensation they deserve.

Common Questions About Uninsured And Underinsured Motorist Accidents
Many people who contact the firm after a crash with an uninsured or underinsured driver are unsure where to start. Understanding the basics can help them decide their next steps. Below are some of the questions that attorney Everly hears most often.
What should I do if I was hit by a driver who is uninsured?
First, get medical care. Then notify your insurance company, since you may be able to file an uninsured motorist accident injury claim under your own policy. Talking with an attorney helps protect your rights.
How can I get any sort of compensation if I was injured by an underinsured driver in Chicago?
If the other driver’s policy does not cover your damages, then your underinsured motorist coverage may apply. This will allow you to recover additional compensation through your own insurer.
Should I file an uninsured motorist claim with my own insurance?
In many cases, yes. Filing through your own policy may be the only way to recover accident compensation when the other driver has no insurance. A lawyer can review your coverage and guide you through the claim.
