Questions & Answers

What if I have no insurance?
Answer:

If you are a passenger in an automobile and do not own or insure an automobile of your own, you would be entitled to recover your medical expenses and wage loss from the policy of insurance insuring the vehicle at the time of accident. Alternatively, if you reside with an individual who owns an automobile, you may be entitled to no-fault coverage from that policy. Each case has to be investigated in order to reveal the priority of coverages.

What if one of the other drivers has no insurance or has insufficient insurance to cover the cost of my damages?
Answer:

In Minnesota, uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverages are mandatory to protect against circumstances of this nature. If an uninsured motorist causes an injury, your own insurance will stand in and provide the coverage necessary to compensate you for your injuries. Similarly, if an insured individual is underinsured, your company will again step in to compensate you for those uncompensated damages.
