On today’s episode, Richard Duquette discusses how bicyclists can recover justice. This primarily concerns issues involving uninsured or underinsured motorists. Tune in and learn how you can proceed with your case!
Dealing with Insurance Coverage
An uninsured motorist is someone without an insurance, while the underinsured is someone who has a limited insurance coverage. If these bad guys hit you, the good thing is your auto policy can make up for it.
Take for example if the bad guy only has $15,000 in his insurance, but the damage costs $100,000. You can get the $15,000. To make up for it, the underinsured can get the $85,000 balance from his own strong insurance policy.
Supplementary Podcast Episodes
Richard previously wrote about the need to obtain strong insurance coverage. You can check podcast Episode 25, “Cyclists Don’t Skip Insurance” and another episode titled “Shopping for an Umbrella Policy.”
The episodes provide preliminary information about uninsured and underinsured coverage. You can also find a general outline of different insurance agencies.
If you didn’t know, the Umbrella Policy is among the best financial planning tools. It can help protect you. i.e. if you don’t have health insurance, or for lost wages, or disfigurement.
A Recent Case
Richard recently won a case for a Major in the Marines. The bad guy only had $50,000 in his insurance. However, the damages exceeded it.
They ended up with $369,000 through the uninsured and underinsured motorist policy provision. That means you can get justice from your auto policy.
