The state of Wisconsin requires all car insurance policies to include uninsured motorist coverage. If you are involved in a car accident with an uninsured driver, your own insurance policy can compensate you for your injuries and damages up to a specified amount. In the event of a hit and run car accident or a collision with an underinsured driver, this type of coverage can also come to your aid.

Keep in mind that Wisconsin abides by comparative fault law, meaning each person involved in the accident can be held partially at fault. Even if you were injured, the amount of damages you recover will be reduced by the percentage you are found at fault for the accident.

If your uninsured motorist policy can’t fully compensate you for your injuries and the uninsured driver was at fault and cannot pay, you may want to consider a lawsuit. Car accident lawyer Steve Caya can help uncover other potential sources of liability by reconstructing the accident, employing top notch experts, and following all leads. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer at your side can help reduce the amount of liability you are assigned in a car accident, therefore increasing the amount of compensation you could receive for damages.
