Uninsured Motorists
Woodland Personal Injury Attorney
Automobile insurance laws in California require vehicle owners to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance on their vehicles. Cal. Veh. Code § 16020. Liability insurance provides compensation to another person in the event that you cause an accident and are found to be liable to that person for damages. The minimum amount of coverage required by law in California is $15,000.00 Cal. Veh. Code § 16056, but you can purchase higher amounts of liability insurance in order to protect your personal assets against the risk of higher damages being awarded against you in the event you cause another serious injuries.
When {{ firmsite.label }} represents a person who is injured in an accident, one of the first things we do is investigate all possible insurance coverage that is applicable. There are two categories of auto insurance — first party coverage and third party coverage. First party coverage covers you and your property (such as medical expenses, damage to your vehicle, and the insurance company's duty to defend you in the event that you are sued as the result of your operation of a vehicle, etc.). Third party coverage is for your responsibility to pay for injury caused to other people (and vice versa), whether in your vehicle, or another vehicle involved in the accident.
