Q. “If the guy who hits me has no insurance, why can’t I just get more money from my own insurance company to cover all my damages and injuries?”
Answer: When you get an insurance policy today and pay for certain “bodily injury” limits, then those are the “limits,” period, unless you paid extra ($) for what they call “uninsured motorist” or “underinsured motorist” coverage; and unfortunately, you absolutely need this extra “UM” coverage these days, since there are so many dirt bag drivers out there on the roads in South Florida (ie, driving on suspended drivers licenses). The odds are great (approximately 70%!) that if you get in an accident, the other guy will be “uninsured,” meaning, their own insurance carrier dropped them for failure to pay their insurance premiums, or they’re “driving on a suspended license” (“DWLS”) *or if they have a license, they are “under-insured” (meaning, they have only the bare minimum coverage of $10,000 as required by Florida law), so you’d better have “UM” coverage!
I can tell you as a Ft. Lauderdale personal injury and wrongful death lawyer, your own injuries will often exceed the limits under the other guy’s flunky policy, assuming he/she even has a policy, or even a license that isn’t suspended! And this is the reason *why, by law, your own company must offer you “UM” coverage up to the same limits as your “bodily injury” coverage – and better for you, before they can escape paying you these “UM” benefits, they have to produce a “rejection form” (approved by the Insurance Commissioner) proving that they offered you these benefits when you took out the policy … and that you “rejected” them at that time.
You’d be surprised at how many people are clueless (like too many lawyers too!) as to this critically important issue – people who could have received far more money under their claims, had they known of this extremely important requirement under the law, people who never “rejected” this coverage “in writing” at the time of their policies, people who were never properly advised of this all-important coverage at the time of their insurance policy application – people who absolutely would have received a whole lot more money, had they only hired a lawyer who knew how to proceed.

“As a Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Lawyer – and most recently as a South Florida Personal Injury Lawyer (co-counseling wrongful death, personal injury and civil rights cases), I’m still busy and blessed with the privilege of helping families with their legal problems – and now I can truly say with excitement, it’s an even greater joy being part of the solution! Truth be told, there are few things in life more rewarding than reuniting families and resolving their legal problems – then joining them as they celebrate their second chances, seeing them happily move on with their lives.” – John Contini
