The law requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of car insurance before they can take their car on the road. However, for one reason or another, some drivers do not have any insurance and others do not have enough coverage to pay for the expenses of another driver if they are in a serious accident. They take a chance every time they get in their car, risking the financial security of themselves and other drivers.
If you are hit by one of these irresponsible drivers, it is important to contact a law firm in Tulsa right away. Because their insurance company, if they have one, will not quickly pay you enough to cover your costs, you need an expert who understands the laws related to auto insurance accidents to get you the money you deserve. Your attorney may also be able to work with your doctors to ensure you get the medical care you need while your case is pending.
Uninsured and underinsured drivers sometimes have other assets that can be sold or seized to pay for your medical and vehicle repair expenses. Your lawyer may be able to find a way to get you the money you need, whether it is from the responsible party’s car insurance company if they have one, the private funds or the uninsured motorist portion of your car insurance policy.
A Law Firm in Tulsa may sue the other driver to secure a judgment against them. While you may not have much trouble getting a judgment for the money you need to pay your bills and repair your vehicle, collecting the money owed to you might present a problem. When you have your initial consultation with a Law Firm, be sure to ask what steps they will take to help you collect on your judgment.
Because many car accident lawyers work on contingency, you can expect your attorney to do everything he or she can to help you collect on your judgment. Some options available may include wage garnishment and liens on personal property. If the person who hit your car owns a home, RV or other valuable possessions, your attorney may be able to get the money you need from those assets.
