Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
My friend was in a very serious car accident. It was not his fault. He suffered A broken sternum, 15 broken ribs, a broken pelvis, 2 broken hips, a broken palate, 2 broken femurs, one of which was a compound fracture and a broken ankle. His truck was totalled. The other driver was at fault, and had been drinking and walked away without a scratch. He was not however over the legal limit for dui. He may not have been insured or so the insurance company is claiming that he missed a payment and was not covered? What can we do?

If the other driver had no liability insurance, he's got a problem. But even if he missed a payment, there may still be coverage for your claim. If there is no coverage, you will be left with suing the driver personally. Good luck.
Does your friend have Uninsured Motorist Coverage and if so, how much?

If the other person has no insurance, he is still liable, but most attorneys will not want to pursue the case, unless the defendant has significant assets or cash. If your friend has Uninsured Motorist coverage, his own insurance should cover the damages and compensation for medical bills and pains and suffering. I would be happy to help. I have an office in Orange County and in Sacramento. Call me at 916-721-3324 or email at [email protected].
This is why you always must have uninsured motorist coverage!

Depending on your own insurance, an attorney might be able to make a claim on that - I would have to see your own policy. Otherwise, you could hire an attorney to sue the other person, and their insurer might well step in. If interested in obtaining representation, give me a call or send me an email.
