If the person who caused the accident has liability insurance for less than the value of your injuries, you may be able to pursue a claim for underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits from your own insurance company. Most automobile insurance policies in New Jersey contain UIM coverage. For example, if you are injured in an accident and the other driver only has $15,000 in liability coverage and you have UIM coverage with limits of $100,000, you can make a claim for an additional $85,000 from your own insurance company. If you have UIM coverage, you can sue your own insurance company in order to obtain compensation for your personal injuries. It is important to hire an experienced personal injury law firm to ensure that all available insurance coverage it utilized in your case.
