The Importance of Uninsured Motorist Coverage

The Importance of Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Why It’s Essential for Your Protection

When you’re involved in a car accident, the last thing you want to worry about is whether the other driver has adequate insurance to cover your damages. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. In fact, according to the Insurance Research Council, about one in eight drivers in the United States is uninsured. This statistic highlights the critical need for uninsured motorist coverage (UM) as part of your auto insurance policy.

St. Petersburg Tractor Trailer Accident: How to Protect Yourself If You Got Injured

Tractor trailer and truck accidents lead to more than 4,000 deaths in the US each year. They are considered to be among the worst kind of auto accidents as most tractor trailers are much heavier than your average car and due to their large size and weight, it’s quite natural that more people get killed or injured as compared to a car accident.

Eric was great to work with! I went about 4 months without a lawyer and was so stressed out with the insurance company, I was in tears. Eric stepped in and made the process so easy! He's great at keeping you updated throughout the whole process and was available for any and all questions. I never felt out of the loop! Highly recommended :)

I had an extremely positive experience working with Eric and his staff members. After spending nearly a year with another lawyer and gaining no progress, Eric was able to get my case settled in a third of the time at a very justified amount. If your looking for a lawyer, I recommend using Shocklee Paolino law firm because of there excellent communications skills, judgement and research ability.

As a law student and former employee at the firm I can say with confidence that this is a firm you can put your faith in. Both Eric and Josh are truly engaged with everyone of their clients, and its because of that that so many have become friends of them and even myself. The professionalism, effort, and care put in by Eric Josh, and the rest of the team are really something that's unique among other firms in my experience. I fully recommend, and hope you go to them, you will be happy you did.
