Motorist Insurance Claims

Portland motorist insurance claims

The auto accident attorneys at Parke Gordon have experience investigating and finding motorist insurance coverage even after other law firms have failed. We have also successfully challenged illegal and unconstitutional auto insurance policy provisions.

We can help you locate insurance to cover your damages by investigating whether the other driver was on the job, living with a relative whose policy applies, find out if they have umbrella coverage, or determine if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that applies to cover your damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of motorist insurance coverages are included in auto insurance policies?

Auto insurance includes different insurance coverages, some of which are required by law and some that are optional. The types of typical insurance coverages found in auto insurance policies include liability for both property and bodily injury damages, no-fault medical payment coverage, personal injury protection (which may include benefits for wage loss, funeral, death, and lost household services), collision coverage, rental car, uninsured motorist, and underinsured motorist.

What is the difference between uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage?

Uninsured motorist coverage is insurance you purchase from your insurance carrier to pay for damages caused by a negligent person who did not have any auto insurance and was uninsured. Underinsured motorist coverage is also insurance that you purchase from your insurance company that pays for damages caused by a person who does have some auto insurance but not enough to fully pay for your damages.

What is primary auto insurance and what is secondary auto insurance?

The auto insurance coverage on the vehicle involved in the accident is the primary coverage. If the person at fault was operating someone else’s vehicle, such as a friend or family member’s vehicle, then the insurance covering the vehicle they were operating is primary. If the negligent operator also owned a vehicle and it was insured, the negligent operator’s own insurance would provide secondary coverage.

Similarly, if you were injured while occupying a friend’s vehicle, the insurance covering your friend’s vehicle would be primary for medical payment, personal injury protection, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages. If those coverages are insufficient to pay for your damages, your own auto insurance policy would provide secondary motorist insurance coverage.

Who pays for the medical bills after an accident?

The at-fault driver is not responsible for paying for your medical treatment as you go. Instead, you will get reimbursed for medical expenses you incurred when you settle your claim. The following is the order of which insurance is applicable to pay for your medical bills: (1) workers compensation is the primary insurance when you were injured on the job, (2) no-fault auto insurance medical payment or personal injury protection is primary if you were not on the job when you were injured, and finally, (3) your personal health insurance is secondary and will pay for medical bills after your auto insurance medical payment or personal injury protection coverage benefits are exhausted.
