Understanding Uninsured Motorist Laws in Georgia
When you’re involved in a car accident in Georgia, dealing with the aftermath can be overwhelming, especially if the other driver is uninsured. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage is a crucial protection for drivers, ensuring that you are not left with significant financial burdens due to another party’s lack of insurance. At Russell W Pope, Sr., LLC, we specialize in guiding Georgia residents through the complexities of uninsured motorist claims, ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.
What is Uninsured Motorist Coverage?
Uninsured motorist coverage is an essential component of auto insurance in Georgia. It provides financial protection when you’re involved in an accident with a driver who either has no insurance or insufficient insurance to cover the damages. This type of coverage can help pay for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses resulting from the accident.
In Georgia, drivers are not required by law to carry uninsured motorist coverage, but it is highly recommended. Without UM coverage, you could be left paying out-of-pocket for damages and injuries caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver.
Types of Uninsured Motorist Coverage in Georgia
Georgia law provides for two types of uninsured motorist coverage:
Traditional (or “Add-On”) Uninsured Motorist Coverage: This type of coverage adds to the at-fault driver’s liability coverage, ensuring that you are fully compensated for your losses up to the policy limits.
Reduced-by Coverage: This form of UM coverage is reduced by the amount of any available liability coverage from the at-fault driver’s insurance. It provides less comprehensive protection compared to traditional UM coverage.
Choosing the right type of uninsured motorist coverage can be complicated. At Russell W Pope, Sr., LLC, we are here to help you understand your options and make informed decisions that protect your interests.
