Does Your Auto Coverage Apply?

You may not know that your auto insurance coverage applies to injuries sustained in any accident involving a motor vehicle, even if you were not driving your vehicle at the time. You or someone in your household may have Med Pay, as well as coverage for uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM). If the other driver was at fault, you can also file a claim against that driver’s liability insurance.

We offer a free consultation to explain your options for securing compensation.

Three Common Accident Causes

As dangerous as bicycle and pedestrian accidents are, they are frighteningly common. One recent study showed that 818 bicyclists and 5,376 pedestrians died in accidents in one calendar year. That’s not even counting thousands upon thousands of injuries. These accidents often happen because:

• Drivers forget that pedestrians have the right of way in both marked and unmarked crosswalks.
• Drivers who are turning may look for oncoming traffic but do not look for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
• Distracted drivers may collide with bicyclists or pedestrians.
