Did you know that almost a quarter of all drivers in Arizona do not have any car insurance? To make matters worse, a recent study showed that because of the economy, more and more people are dropping their insurance altogether. For those who aren’t, many are decreasing the amount of car coverage they carry. According to the report, the Insurance Research Council (IRC) has estimated that by 2010, one in six drivers will be uninsured if economic struggles persist.
This is a huge red flag and a warning to all Arizona drivers!
As Arizona auto accident attorneys helping people in Scottsdale, Tempe, Globe, Mesa, and throughout the East and West Valley, we have seen far too many people who have been tragically injured – and who did not have enough insurance coverage to protect them. That is why it is vital for Arizona residents to purchase adequate amounts of underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage.
If you suffer serious personal injury in Arizona from an auto accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver, your best chance of getting any financial recovery comes from having purchased these types of coverage before the accident happened. The good news is that the cost for underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage is relatively small.
Perhaps it sounds strange to many that Arizona personal injury lawyers who go against insurance companies for a living would encourage people to buy more insurance. However, we’ve seen how auto accidents can destroy lives physically, emotionally – and financially. If having the right insurance protects victims of car accident in Arizona, then we’re all for it.
