Why You Need Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Insurance
A Cleveland woman was a careful driver and a careful planner. While she knew that she drove safely, she also knew that she had no control over the drivers of other cars on the road. For this reason, she made sure that her uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage was adequate. Luckily, when she was hit be an uninsured motorist, the lawyers at Friedman, Domiano & Smith could help her get the compensation she needed from her own insurance company.
Even safe drivers cannot account for everyone on the roads. It is difficult to tell exactly how many drivers in Ohio operate motor vehicles without proper insurance, and it is impossible to predict how many of those drivers may cause an accident. It is best to be prepared by purchasing uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance as part of your insurance coverage.
At the law offices of Friedman, Domiano & Smith, our attorneys encourage our clients to purchase UM and UIM coverage, for financial protection in the event they are involved in a car, truck, motorcycle, but or van accident caused by an uninsured driver.
The Importance of UM/UIM Coverage for Motorcyclists
If you operate a motorcycle, make sure to purchase sufficient UM/UIM coverage. Many motorcyclists do not believe that UM/UIM coverage is not necessary. Having seen the damage that uninsured or underinsured motorists can cause, our attorneys believe that UM/UIM is the most important part of any insurance policy. The minimum levels of UM/UIM coverage are unlikely to provide complete coverage for your injuries if you are in an accident with someone with insufficient insurance. Therefore, our lawyers believe it is a good idea to purchase as much UM/UIM coverage as you can reasonably afford.
