The state of Washington requires your insurance company to offer you UIM coverage at the time they insure you. If you decline coverage, your insurance company must have you sign a written waiver. After your accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, our firm will examine your insurance policy to establish whether you signed a written waiver. If your insurance company failed to secure a written waiver, it might be responsible for providing you coverage.

It is important to consult with us prior to making any statements to your insurance company. Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims are technically complex. One can regrettably make a statement that eventually jeopardizes their chance of financial recovery. Before making this mistake, you should schedule an appointment with our firm.

Many insurance policies currently include an arbitration clause that requires parties to resolve disputes through arbitration. Both you and your insurance company have a duty to act in a fair and reasonable manner towards each other. Insurance companies frequently treat people in a manner that forces the insured to litigate disputes.
