Being involved in an auto accident is a traumatic experience that can leave you with many questions about your future. When the other driver does not have insurance or sufficient insurance to cover your damages, it makes the process more difficult. This is when you need to consider filing and an underinsured or uninsured motorist claim with your own auto insurance company.

When you purchase your insurance coverage, you have the expectation that your insurance company will live up to their obligations outlined in the policy. Unfortunately, that does not always happen because insurance companies especially your own do not want to pay claims especially in large cases. As an injured motorist or pedestrian is it important to understand your rights when dealing with the insurance companies so you do not lose them by signing them away or discussing your claim with the wrong adjuster. Insurance companies, including your own want to settle case quickly but you should be aware of the tactics used below:
Recently, in Pennsylvania, insurance companies have started to write policies that force claimants to resolve disputes in a jury trial, instead of mediation or other alternative forms of resolution. Since jury trials are often much more expensive and time consuming, they act to dissuade many claimants from pursuing denied or insufficient claims.
