Woodland Hills Auto Accident Attorneys


If you are involved in a car accident and the driver of the other vehicle is uninsured, you may be told that you are out of luck. Many of our clients believe they will be stuck paying the full amount of their medical expenses and car repairs resulting from a car crash with an uninsured motorist. This is simply not true, even if the person who was at fault does not have insurance, is underinsured, or has an insurance company who refuses to pay your claim, it may be possible to turn to your insurance company for compensation.

The Law Offices of Kenneth W. Drake & Associates, Inc. (“Drake & Associates”) is dedicated to protecting the rights of accident victims. Our attorneys have decades of experience dealing with insurance companies and adjusters, and fighting for justice and compensation for victims of uninsured or underinsured drivers. We understand that most drivers are in shock or are angry after an accident and do not know how to best handle the situation. It can be especially frustrating to deal with insurance companies that may do everything in their power to minimize your claim or make your recovery process as difficult as possible.

Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured motorist coverage is designed to protect you when a negligent driver who collides with you, and injures you, has no insurance coverage. Underinsured motorist coverage is to protect you when the other driver has insurance, but his or her policy is inadequate to compensate you for your damages.

If you were involved in an accident with a driver whose insurance is insufficient to cover your losses, you may then need to use the underinsured motorist provision of your policy. For example, if you were in a rear-end accident with $50,000 worth of damage and the limit of the other driver’s insurance is $25,000, you could seek to use the underinsured motorist coverage of your own policy for the remaining $25,000.
