After sustaining critical injuries in a collision with an uninsured driver, you may be left feeling disheartened. You may have assumed filing an insurance claim was the only way to recover compensation for your damages. However, it might surprise you to learn you have other options to obtain the justice and compensation you are entitled to receive.
You can explore your legal options further when you enlist the services of a Montgomery uninsured car accident attorney at the Morris Bart law firm. You can rely on our team to explore all opportunities for financial recovery.
Compensation for Victims of Uninsured Car Accidents
When another person or party is responsible for causing your injuries, you should not have to cover these losses. Instead, you should be able to get the at-fault party to cover every expense and compensate you for how the crash has affected you emotionally and physically.
The list of damages you have the right to recover might surprise you. For example, you might be entitled to economic damages beyond your medical expenses and property damages, including:
- The difference between what you owe on the car and the value of the car when you don’t have gap insurance
- The financial implications of the accident on your credit score and report
- The impact on your auto insurance premiums when it’s time for your policy to renew
- The costs of your future medical care and any medical equipment you might require
You Could Also Recover Noneconomic Damages
Noneconomic (or general) damages refer to the various intangible losses you could have suffered in the crash. Some examples of noneconomic damages include:
- Loss of companionship and love
- Loss of counsel, guidance, and advice
- Loss of society and support
- Chronic physical pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
- Embarrassment from debilitating skin scars and disfiguring injuries
- Damage to your professional reputation, personal reputation, and driving history
- Emotional distress, mental anguish, and psychological trauma
- Inconvenience, shame, shock, fear, anticipation, and indignity
These are only a few of the damages you could recover following your collision with an uninsured driver. Although you could recover some of these losses through an insurance claim if you have personal injury protection coverage, you will need to seek most of these losses through a civil suit against the liable party.
You can find out more about how much your case is worth when you discuss your losses in further detail with your car accident lawyer at the Morris Bart law office.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Uninsured Car Accident Lawyer?
Being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver may leave you feeling defeated. Unfortunately, these drivers do not have the necessary insurance coverage to cover a significant amount of a victim’s damages. However, you may still be able to recover your losses in full by filing a civil claim against them.
Of course, figuring out how to afford the costs of hiring an attorney might seem impossible when you are already stuck dealing with tremendous financial losses. However, when you work with the Morris Bart law firm, our team of lawyers will take your case on contingency.
A contingency agreement means your uninsured car accident lawyer will cover all the expenses related to pursuing your case. In addition, we won’t require you to put any money down or cover any attorney’s fees unless we win your case. We’ll explain more during our free consultation, so learn more about how contingency agreements work and the percentage of your settlement your lawyer will receive if they successfully complete your case.
