Our attorneys help you determine the cause of an accident and who is at fault. We fight for your right to just compensation for your injuries.
Not all drivers and vehicles are covered by liability insurance in Virginia, as residents have the option of paying a $500 annual fee to the DMV instead. However, state law requires your own auto insurance policy to include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage equivalent to the policyholder’s liability coverage limits, which will provide coverage to you even if the party at fault is uninsured.
If you suffer a personal injury in an accident with an uninsured driver, your insurance policy’s personal injury protection (PIP) coverage entitles you to recuperate the costs of your injuries. Uninsured/underinsured motorist protection fills any gap between that amount and your total medical bills and other expenses. In addition, you may need to file a personal injury claim against the at-fault individual directly to obtain the compensation you need.
