Connecticut Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Accident Cases

Basically stated, there are three classes or categories of individuals who, depending upon the facts of the particular situation, may be covered by an uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance policy. The first group of individuals that may be covered under an uninsured or underinsured motorist policy are those persons named or designated in the policy as the person that is being insured. This could also include relatives, of the named insured, who are family members residing in the named insured’s household. There are exceptions and exclusions to this general rule so it is important to consult with a CT accident attorney immediately. The second group of individuals that may be covered under your CT uninsured or underinsured motorist policy are those individuals that are occupying an insured vehicle. Lastly, those individuals that may also be entitled to access your uninsured or underinsured motorist policy insurance are those legally entitled to recover because of injuries which have been suffered by persons who have been listed above.
