Getting injured in a car accident is stressful. Discovering that the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance or worse, fled the scene can make recovery feel impossible. However, if you have uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance provider. Do you want to know how?
At Sheena Rude Law, we help individuals navigate these complex situations and make sure they get the coverage they are owed under their policy. Contact LAW OFFICES OF SHEENA RUDE today at 818-658-3700 or 408-676-0410 to schedule a free consultation.
UM/UIM coverage is designed to compensate you when the driver is at fault:
- Has no insurance
- Has insufficient coverage
- Cannot be identified (e.g., in a hit-and-run)
You may be eligible to receive compensation for few things like:
- Emergency medical treatment and long-term care
- Lost income due to injury
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation or therapy
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Insurance companies may claim to be on your side but its not always true becasue they work to minimize payouts, including those from your own policy. Sheena Rude and her team understand how these claims work and will fight to ensure you get the maximum amount you are entitled to considering all the scenario.
We will:
- Review and explain your UM/UIM policy
- File and manage your claim
- Communicate directly with the insurance company
- Negotiate for full and fair compensation
- Guide you through every step of the process
You shouldn’t have to face an extreme battle just because the other driver was irresponsible.

It is very difficult for a lawyer to advise you on recovery. Your recovery would depend on the extent of your injuries, your medical bills and whether your injuries are permanent.
The statute of limitation for most auto accidents are two years where it can be shorter for other injuries.
We can’t take away your pain and suffering however we could hold the person responsible for your injuries. While no amount of money can erase the past, it can help you feel that justice has been done.
