Understanding Your Insurance Coverage in a Phoenix Pedestrian Accident
In most motor vehicle collisions, damages are covered by the at-fault driver’s insurance company. However, if you have Medical Payments (Med Pay) coverage attached to your auto insurance policy, you may be able to obtain compensation from your own insurer after being hit by a car. Med Pay will provide partial or total coverage of medical bills, up to the limit of coverage you have purchased through your policy.
If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, you may also be able to turn to your own auto insurance if you were hit by a driver who doesn’t have insurance, who fled the scene of the accident, or who doesn’t have enough coverage to fully compensate you. With UM/UIM coverage, your insurance company effectively replaces the insurance policy that the at-fault driver should have purchased.
Our team can review insurance policies and help you identify all possible sources of compensation for personal injury claims after a pedestrian accident.
