New Orleans Uninsured Motorist Accident Attorney

Under Louisiana law, all drivers must purchase liability insurance for injuries to others. Despite the law, thousands of drivers do not have any insurance and the vast majority carry only the minimum coverage. What happens if such a driver crashes into you? Are you saddled with the medical bills and other losses?

If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your auto policy, your own insurance company pays. However, insurance companies commonly try to deny, delay or downplay such claims. The New Orleans uninsured motorist accident attorneys at the Law Office of John W. Redmann, LLC are here to help you fight your insurer for your rightful compensation.

Dedicated Attorneys for Underinsured Motorist Accidents

The minimum liability coverage in Louisiana is a 15/30 policy ($15,000 per person, up to a maximum of $30,000 per accident). This may sound like a lot of money, but it doesn’t go very far if you have substantial hospital bills, if you need surgery, if you are disabled from work for many months or if several victims must share the money.

This is where your uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage kicks in:

• If the other driver has no auto insurance, your UM/UIM covers you.
• If your damages exceed the other driver’s coverage, your UM/UIM covers you.
• If you were the victim of a hit-and-run accident, your UM/UIM covers you.

Our experienced New Orleans accident attorneys have handled thousands of auto accident cases, regularly taking on the biggest insurance companies in coverage disputes, including uninsured and underinsured motorist claims. We are confident we can make insurers live up to their obligations under your UM or UIM policy.

Are You Protected If the Other Driver Has Minimal Coverage?
UM/UIM insurance is not required in Louisiana, but we highly recommend you go out and get it if you do not have this invaluable protection. If you carry the minimum coverage, we also recommend that you increase it. For just a few dollars more, you and your family would be covered for a catastrophic accident. We are happy to review clients’ insurance policies and advise on appropriate accident coverage.
