What is Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Despite the fact that liability coverage is a legal requirement in almost all states, people continue to operate motor vehicles every day on public roads without insurance. If you are involved in a car wreck with someone who was operating without insurance, your medical bills, property damage and pain and suffering could go unpaid unless you were covered by uninsured motorist coverage. Even if you were not seriously injured in the auto accident, property damage and medical bills can add up quickly — particularly if they are out of pocket expenses.
When most people purchase car insurance, they focus on what the state minimum is, or on how much they think they should purchase to cover any injuries to other people in the event they are negligent in an auto accident. While this should certainly be a consideration, care should also be taken to include uninsured motorist coverage in the event the other person is negligent and operating without liability coverage.
As a general rule, if the other driver is negligent in a car wreck, he or she is responsible for paying your medical bills, property damage and possibly pain and suffering. If he or she is insured by liability coverage then the driver’s insurance company will cover the payment. If, however, the driver did not have any liability coverage, your only option may be to file a lawsuit against the driver if you were not covered by uninsured motorist coverage. Although you may easily win the lawsuit, collecting on the judgment may prove fruitless.
If, on the other hand, you were covered by uninsured motorist coverage, then your own insurance company will pay for your damages based on your policy coverage. The insurance company may, or may not, choose to pursue litigation against the negligent driver. In the meantime, however, your injuries are covered and you do not have to worry about the often lengthy and costly process of filing a lawsuit against the driver.
A Probate Lawyer Reduces Loss
A probate lawyer can make moving your family member’s estate through the court system much easier. This process is a legal one in which the estate, or belongings, of a person will pass through a court system. The court will make decisions about who should obtain ownership of property and, as a part of the process, if taxes are a requirement for the estate to pay. Even if you are the executor of a will, you still can benefit from turning to an attorney to help you through this process.
A probate lawyer is one that knows the courts well enough to know what you can expect. This area of the law is somewhat subjective in that a judge will ultimately determine if a will is valid and, in the absence of one, who should inherit any property. It goes without saying that individuals will need to spend a good amount of time sorting through belongings of a person that’s passed away. However, there is much more to consider than just the items in the home.These attorneys will help you to overcome many of the limitations you are facing right now and help you to avoid common problems throughout the process. That includes the following.
- Creditors may approach the court to request payment for debts. While most of these instances are justified debts the individual owes, there are cases in which a person or business will try to make a claim they do not deserve.
- Ownership of property including real estate must be determined by the court. Yet, problems like paying taxes and managing insurance can make it difficult to do. That’s where an attorney can step in to offer guidance.
- In some situations, a person may have trusts in place to transfer the property they own away from and avoid taxation of the courts. This is completely legal when set up properly. However, it is important to ensure that this is done the proper way to minimize the loss a person faces.
With the aid of a probate lawyer, you and your family may see a lowered risk of losing property, inheritance and time in the process. Though it is never easy to go through these types of situations, it is something you will need to do in nearly all deaths. However, with an attorney by your side, you will see a better outcome where the family, not the court, ends up with the benefits. Take the time to hire an attorney you can trust to help you to get through this process. Doing so can have a big differences on your success.
