Every motor vehicle driver in Arizona is required to carry at least $25,000 in bodily injury or death insurance per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 in property damage liability insurance. Despite these requirements, many drivers in Arizona drive while uninsured or underinsured. If you get into an accident with one of these drivers, it may be more difficult to recover the financial compensation that you need for your injuries and losses.
Call your own car insurance company to find out if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance. This will cover your expenses after a crash involving an uninsured motorist or a hit-and-run accident. If you do not have this type of insurance, you may still be able to recover from a third party other than the driver. If the driver was on duty at the time of your wreck, for example, you may have grounds to file a claim with the driver’s employer.
Other parties that you may be able to hold liable for your car accident include the manufacturer of the motor vehicle, the owner of the property (if the crash took place on private property) or the government for a defect on a public road. Our attorneys can help you search for other sources of financial recovery if you get hit by an uninsured driver in Glendale.
