Making Sure You Protect Yourself And Your Loved Ones

January 10, 2017

Unfortunately, may drivers in New Mexico are uninsured or underinsured. If an uninsured or underinsured driver causes a car accident and you or your loved ones are hurt or injured, you will likely have no way to pay for your medical bills, lost time from work and pain and suffering. How can you protect yourself and your loved ones? Aside from hiring an excellent car accident attorney, you need to cover your bases. And you can’t cover your bases unless you have purchased adequate underinsured/uninsured coverage (lets call it “UIM” coverage or insurance).

What does UIM coverage do for you? Well, if an irresponsible driver without insurance hits you, UIM coverage provides you with insurance coverage. If you didn’t have UIM insurance and an uninsured driver hit you, you would be out of luck and not have insurance coverage. If a person with the minimum insurance policy coverage hits you ($25,000 is the minimum in New Mexico) and you have $100, 000 in medical bills, you will need UIM coverage to make up the difference. So, what can you do to protect yourself? Always buy as much insurance as you can afford. Hospitals are incredibly expensive, doctors and physical therapists too.

When you buy your insurance policy, you will be asked if you want to decline UIM coverage. DON’T! Always accept it and always match it to your underlying coverage. For example, if you purchased $100,000 in coverage, your UIM would match that up to $100,o00. If you own multiple cars, you can get the benefits of stacking those UIM policies. Tune in tomorrow and I’ll talk a bit about stacking in New Mexico. Remember ALWAYS buy as much insurance as you can afford and always accept matching UIM coverage. If you have been insured because of someone else’s irresponsible actions, call the Crecca Law Firm for help in protecting your rights. We will work with you to deal with the insurance company and get you the compensation you need to help you put your life back together.
