Obtaining Financial Recovery If You Were Hurt by an Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist
Southern California Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney
Although California law requires that all drivers carry liability insurance a surprisingly large number do not. According to the California Department of Insurance, up to 23% of drivers in some California counties are driving with no car insurance. (Los Angeles and Imperial counties have among the highest rates of uninsured motorists). Those figures are from 2004, when our economy was good. In the current economic crisis, more people than ever are driving without insurance or with inadequate coverage.
Lack of insurance is not only a hazard to the uninsured driver - it can be devastating to those on the road who have the misfortune of being in an accident with that driver. After suffering serious injuries, where do you turn to get your medical bills paid?
At the Eisenberg Law Firm, APC, we help victims of accidents with uninsured and underinsured drivers by working to identify other possible sources of compensation. Our in-depth understanding of personal injury law and the insurance industry can benefit your case as we review your own insurance policy to see if your costs can be covered by your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy.

An Experienced Attorney Will Investigate Your Case
Attorney Mark W. Eisenberg is a highly experienced trial attorney who gained a great deal of insight into the insurance industry in his prior career working in insurance defense. He will review your insurance policy to ensure you receive the benefits for which you have paid.

In addition to looking at your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, Mr. Eisenberg will investigate whether there were any additional parties responsible for your accident.
- If you were involved in a commercial truck accident and the driver was uninsured, the trucking company or the cargo company may be liable.
