Massachusetts Underinsured/Uninsured Drivers and Injury Claims (Part B)

File Your Massachusetts Uninsured/Underinsured Claim Early

As the total number of uninsured drivers increases ¾ of 1% for every 1% of unemployment, the likelihood that you will be involved in an accident with an uninsured Massachusetts driver will also increase. You should be aware that insurance companies put strict time limits on how long you have to file a claim after an accident. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to collect the compensation that you need to pay for your accident injuries and related medical costs.

Common Types of Uninsured Accidents

There are several types of car accidents that are more likely to involve an underinsured or uninsured Massachusetts driver. Listed below are some common types of uninsured accidents:

  • Non-Contact Accident - Refers to when a driver forces you off the road but doesn't stop, including instances of a driver changing lanes and being unaware that the other driver had to move over to the shoulder, or into another lane of traffic.
  • Hit-and-Run - This refers to when the other driver flees the scene of an accident. This driver may have many reasons to avoid you and the authorities, including multiple OUI charges or fear of increased premiums or traffic citations.
  • Uninsured Driver - These accidents involve Massachusetts drivers who drive without auto insurance, risking not only their lives and future, but yours as well.
