I got in a car accident with an uninsured drunk driver, what can I do to recover my damages?

I was involved in an automobile accident with an uninsured drunk driver and was injured. What are my rights for a claim against his property to cover the medical costs?

In this type of situation, the majority of your compensation would come from your own insurance depending on the extent of its coverage. The compensation should cover property and medical damages. Some states require you to have uninsured motorist compensation, while others do not. Even if you are covered, certain insurance companies may try to limit the settlement amount to you. There have been federal cases that have went to the Supreme Court surrounding this matter. An experienced Lawyer would assume all communication with your insurance company and attempt to negotiate the maximum level of compensation you deserve.
