Auto Insurance Coverage
If you are the victim of a car accident in Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Missouri we will find out if there is automobile liability insurance (auto insurance) available. The minimum requirement for liability insurance is different from state to state and you need experienced professional to know what you’re dealing with. Typically the insurance will be with a company like Farmers, State Farm, or Geico.
Despite states requiring drivers to purchase and maintain insurance, numerous drivers operate their motor vehicles without any insurance. In this situation, your own automobile liability insurance policy may provide coverage pursuant to Uninsured and/or Underinsured motorist coverage. We can determine whether you have this coverage after you supply us with a copy of your declaration page. At this time we will also discuss the issues related to your case and the various ways BMT Law Partners can help you. Consultations for personal injury cases are always free.
