Man holding head in despair after car collision. if the at-fault driver's insurance doesn't cover your injuries
Your options if the at-fault driver’s insurance does not cover your injuries in Chicago, IL, include relying on your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy, suing the driver directly, or covering your medical bills with your health insurance. An attorney can examine your case, discuss available options for compensation, and compile strong evidence to prove the full scope of your damages. Working with an attorney protects you from spending your money to pay for expenses arising from another party’s negligence, even when insurance coverage is limited.
An insurance claim form surrounded by financial documents, a calculator, a pen, and eyeglasses. Ask for More After an Insurance Settlement Offer
You can ask for more after an insurance settlement offer in Chicago, IL, because the first offer marks the beginning of the negotiation process. The initial offer is often low, and insurance companies hope that you will accept it so that they can close the claim quickly at a minimal cost. You have the right to counter a lowball offer by asking for a higher amount. Accepting a settlement too quickly bars you from pursuing additional compensation in the future. That means you will have to cover any additional costs arising from your injury out of pocket. The best practice is to talk to a lawyer before accepting a settlement, especially if you receive the offer immediately after the accident/incident.
