Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist Claims

Being involved in a motorcycle accident is always an experience filled with its fair share of headaches. But when you have the misfortune to be struck by a motorist who is uninsured or underinsured, the challenges are even more difficult.

The state of Iowa does not require you to obtain coverage for underinsured motorists or uninsured motorists, so it would be helpful if your insurer held up their end of the bargain when you took the initiative to protect yourself in case of such an accident.

Enforcing the Terms of Your Insurance Policy

However, as you may have already discovered, there is a large difference between having an insurance policy and actually receiving the benefits that you are due under the terms of your policy.

Insurance companies rely on their ability to persuade you to accept a lower claims payment than you should receive as a means of increasing their profits. They believe that their familiarity with the relevant issues and your perceived inexperience in these matters turns the tables in their favor.

Although it should not be the case, stubborn insurance companies often have a different interpretation of a policy’s terms when they know that you have an attorney on your side. Iowa motorcycle insurance claims lawyer Pete Leehey can help you obtain the uninsured or underinsured motorist claim benefits you need to get back on your feet after a motorcycle accident. Let his dedication and experience as both a motorcyclist and a motorcycle accident attorney be your comfort.
