Injured by an Uninsured Driver | Filing a Claim
If you are involved in an accident where the other driver does not have bodily injury coverage, your uninsured motorist coverage will apply. You would file a claim against your own insurance company for your injuries and your damages to include both economic and non-economic damages. One of the things that’s important in order to collect non-economic damages is to have what’s termed a permanent injury and that’s something your doctor will include in their medical records or their reports.
