You probably still have a claim.
The drunk driver’s lack of insurance might complicate recovering compensation, but Atlantic City drunk driving accident victims can often seek compensation from other sources, such as:
- Other parties, as described above, who may have legal liability for your injuries and losses;
- The drunk driver’s personal assets and income, which you may have the right to collect as damages in the absence of the driver having insurance; and
- Your own uninsured motorist insurance coverage, if you carry it, which protects against this exact situation and pays benefits in place of what you might otherwise recover from the drunk driver’s insurance or assets. (This coverage also protects you if the drunk driver flees the scene and cannot be found.)
Experienced Atlantic City drunk driving accident injury lawyers have the resources and know-how to explore all legal options available to you to collect compensation for your injuries and losses. Do not assume that you are out of luck just because the drunk driver lacked insurance.
