San Jose Uninsured Motorist Accident Attorneys
Auto accidents occur on a daily basis on the streets and freeways of California. People suffer serious physical injuries, as well as damages to their vehicle after being involved in an auto accident. The state of California requires that all drivers carry the minimum insurance coverage. The following details the minimum insurance requirements:
- $5,000 for damage to property in an accident
- $15,000 for the injury or death of 1 person in an accident
- $30,000 for the injury or death of 2 or more individuals in an accident
As many as 15% of drivers in California do not have drivers licenses, thus are driving without auto insurance. Many others have inadequate insurance for the damage they may do to others. It is illegal for a person to drive without a driver's license or car insurance. It is important that every driver acts responsibly and has "uninsured motorist" coverage in case of an accident with an uninsured driver. This type of insurance will help you recover damages for medical expenses and vehicle repair costs.
