Risks Of Being Involved In Car Accident With Uninsured Driver in Philadelphia Are Greater Than Ever

According to insurance industry sources, many Pennsylvania motorists and particularly Philadelphians are cutting back on their auto insurance deductibles or coverage in order to save money in this tanking economy. More and more in our Philadelphia car accident law practice, we see cases of catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths involving uninsured, underinsured and hit and run drivers. While many people attempt to cut their expenses by reducing or dropping their insurance, this is a high risk gamble in today’s climate. The potential risk of financial disaster is far greater than the reward of minimal savings that these individuals will accrue.

As an experienced car accident lawyer dealing with tragic consequences of life in which people think that “this will never happen to me,” I am often confronted with situations where the major wage earner in the family is killed or catastrophically injured to the point where the entire financial and emotional survival of the family is at risk. Hit and run accidents in Philadelphia have reached epidemic or even pandemic levels and there seems not to be a day that goes by where we do not read about these in the newspapers or hear about them on the radio and television.

Money you save by dropping uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage from your insurance policy most likely will end up costing you much more in the long term if an accident should occur.
