What is a restricted driver's license in California?

In California, if you've been convicted of driving under the influence the court will suspend your license for six months.

What happens in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

Proner & Proner

If you're involved in a car accident and the other vehicle is uninsured, by law in New York State you're required to have uninsured motorist coverage. In addition if the other vehicle had less insurance than you had,you're entitled to make a claim through what's called SUM coverage - Supplemental uninsured motorist coverage. So my advice is to purchase as much SUM coverage as you can afford, because that's the coverage that's going to protect you if the other vehicle is insured or underinsured.

Can I sue if the other driver has no insurance?

Bisnar Chase LLP

You also have to consider the ability to pay of the person who caused the accident. If the person who causes your auto accident has no insurance, has no assets, no matter how big your injury is, your claim is worth nothing. If they've got a fifteen thousand dollar policy, and you have a big injury, then probably your claim is going to be worth fifteen thousand dollars. If someone has a million dollar policy, and you have a claim that's worth twenty-five thousand dollars, your claim is worth twenty-five thousand dollars. So the value of an auto accident injury claim is based upon what you lost, how big your injury is, and the ability of the wrongdoer to pay.

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

The first thing a parent should do if they're involved in an accident and their child is injured, obviously, is to tend to the child.

Many times in Massachusetts, no matter how seriously you’re injured in an auto accident; your recovery is limited by the insurance policy held by the other driver.

Are car accidents on the rise in California?

I wouldn't say that car accidents are on the rise. In fact, I think that there's more of a prevalence of people being more careful now. Particularly in California, they've recently passed a law that requires you to wear a headpiece when you use a phone, which I'm seeing a lot of drivers using. I understand that insurance companies are reporting that auto accidents are down because they're using a lot more driver safety programs, particularly with their newer drivers that are coming on to their programs. So, there's not an abundance of more accidents. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service, personal injury law firm in Southern California.

Why do insurance companies try to limit pay-outs?

When you've been involved in an accident and you're going to be making a claim for your injuries against the driver that caused it, trust me. You're not in good hands with that insurance company. That insurance company has one thing in mind and that is to limit payouts and to basically not regard you as an injured person. And that's why it's so important to actually contact an attorney to deal with that insurance company and to represent you and make sure that you are taken care of. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service personal injury law firm in southern California. If you've been involved in an accident, call us for a free consultation.

Is the car insurance adjuster on my side? Will my claim be treated fairly?

When you've been involved in a car accident in Southern California and you call the insurance company for the driver that caused your accident, and caused you injury, the other person on the end of that line, the insurance adjuster, is not your friend. Trust me, they aren't looking out for your best interest. What they are concerned with is the best interest of the insurance company, and that is to save money. So it's very important that when and before you deal with an insurance company you communicate with an attorney that can help you represent yourself and your injuries to the insurance company.
