Nevada Uninsured Motorist Attorney Las Vegas
When a Las Vegas car accident is caused by a driver with no insurance — or insufficient insurance to cover your losses — Nevada’s uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage provides a critical safety net. Nevada requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage with every auto policy, and this coverage compensates you for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering when the at-fault driver cannot. Hit and run accidents — common in Las Vegas’s high-traffic environment — are treated as uninsured motorist events, allowing claims against your own policy when the at-fault driver cannot be identified. Marathon Law Group’s Las Vegas personal injury attorneys handle UM/UIM claims and know how to fight your own insurance company when it undervalues these cases.
How Nevada UM/UIM Claims Work
Uninsured motorist coverage applies when the at-fault driver has no insurance at all or when a hit and run driver cannot be identified. Underinsured motorist coverage applies when the at-fault driver’s liability limits are insufficient to compensate you fully — your UIM policy pays the gap between their limit and your total damages. Nevada requires UM/UIM coverage to be offered in amounts equal to your liability limits unless you reject it in writing. The claims process requires establishing the other driver’s fault, the extent of your damages, and the inadequacy of available third-party coverage. Marathon Law Group handles the full process from claim filing through negotiation and arbitration.
Insurance Company Tactics in Nevada UM/UIM Cases
Your own insurance company is not on your side in a UM/UIM claim. Insurers routinely contest the severity of injuries, require independent medical examinations from doctors who minimize injuries, and make lowball settlement offers. Nevada bad faith insurance law provides additional remedies when insurers unreasonably delay or deny valid UM/UIM claims. Marathon Law Group negotiates aggressively and pursues arbitration or litigation when necessary to force fair UM/UIM settlements.
