How Uninsured and Underinsured Accident Claims Work in the State of Louisiana
Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM coverage) claims arise when the at-fault party lacks sufficient insurance to cover your damages. These claims allow victims to seek compensation through their own insurance policies.
In Louisiana, state law mandates UM/UIM coverage unless explicitly declined. However, even with coverage, navigating these claims can be complicated. Challenges may include interpreting policy terms, calculating damages, and addressing disputes with insurance companies. The Truitt Law Firm can provide clarity and help you take the proper steps to protect your rights.
