UM / UIM Claims

Underinsured and Uninsured Motorist Claims

If you have been injured by an underinsured driver or uninsured motorist and are trying to cope with medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses that were not covered by insurance, help may be available to you via your own automobile insurance policy. For a free consultation and an honest assessment of your situation, contact an attorney at Shay & Associates today.

A different kind of law firm…dedicated to serving you.

At Shay & Associates, we represent injured people from throughout the Central Illinois region in bringing underinsured and uninsured motorist claims (first-party claims) against their own insurance carriers. However, if you did elect to carry underinsured / uninsured motorist coverage on your auto policy, be aware that there are some strict rules you must adhere to if you are going to file a claim.

Because of this, consulting with a lawyer about a potential claim as early as possible can help you to avoid mistakes that could prevent you from obtaining the compensation your policy entitles you to. Our attorneys will work closely with you throughout the case, taking the time to listen and making every effort to provide you with the answers and clear information you need to make sound legal decisions concerning your case.
