Moreover, Wimberly Law Firm, Attorneys at Law, understand the defenses which inusrance companies will often emplore in their attempt to deny coverage for auto and car accidents. For instance, it is not uncommon - especially in car and auto accident cases - for the negligent driver's insurance carrier to deny coverage to the injured party for a litany of reasons, including permissive use. Essentially, a denial of coverage based on "permissive use" means that the insurance carrier believes that coverage does not extend to the driver whose negligence caused the auto accident because he/she is not listed on the policy, or because they drove the insured car without permission. This defense, however, is not impenetrable and may be circumvented by the injured party in certain instances. Wimberly Law Firm, Attorneys at Law,are experienced in this area and recognize tactics like these which are implemented by insurance companies to deny responsibility for auto accidents.
Similarly, there may be a way for the injured person to recover insurance proceeds in cases involving car and auto accidents even where the negligent driver has no insurance coverage. Uninsured Motorist coverage may be attached to your policy and, if so, may provide a remedy for insureds who are injured in a car or auto accident which was caused by an uninsured driver. Thus, it is important to scrutinize your auto insurance policy and determine whether you have Uninsured Motorist coverage.
