Q: No insurance. The person didn't have bodily injury coverage. After PIP, I have $16,000 left to pay. What do I do?
A: Do you know if you have uninsured motorist coverage?
A: You may be able to hold their license until they pay. Suggest you contact a member of the Fla Justice Assn. Also, bills after your pip should be run through your medical insurance.
A:
If you plan to take the UM (Uninsured Motorist) route, you would need to place your carrier on notice of a claim. Between that and the issues involving unpaid medicals, it sounds like it would be beneficial to have a quick consult with a Florida personal injury attorney to figure out the direction you choose to take - many give free initial consults.
