Uninsured & Underinsured Driver Accidents
When one or more drivers involved in a car accident are either underinsured or uninsured, the situation can become complicated. The laws in Tennessee are different from other states in that one cannot settle with a liability carrier unless he or she has permission from his or her uninsured or underinsured carrier to do so.
Otherwise, the individual could forfeit this right.
This is just one example of the specific nuances involved in underinsured and uninsured accidents. That is why it is so critical to hire a lawyer with extensive experience with underinsured and uninsured driver accidents and knowledge of the laws pertaining to them. For more information from a law firm that is highly experienced and skilled in uninsured/underinsured accident cases, schedule a free initial consultation today.
You can contact us online or by calling (615) 933-2893 to reach one of our Nashville UM/UIM attorneys.
