When the driver who hit you has no insurance or not enough insurance, your own UM/UIM policy may matter. We review the available policies, coverage layers, and deadlines before any release is signed.
What to decide first
Confirm whether the harm, defendant, damages, and proof point toward a case that needs attorney review.

When uninsured & underinsured motorist needs attorney review
A high-value case is not just a big number. It often involves life-changing harm, disputed responsibility, meaningful damages, and records that need careful review. This practice area is strongest when the harm, disputed responsibility, damages, and available records support direct attorney review.
Send the key facts for attorney review.
If this involves death, catastrophic injury, a commercial defendant, or evidence that may need preservation, jump to the case-review form or call the firm.
01
What is UM/UIM Coverage?
Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage pays for your medical bills and pain and suffering if the at-fault driver has no insurance. Underinsured Motorist (UIM) kicks in when the at-fault driver has insurance, but it's not enough to cover your damages (e.g., they have the state minimum of $25,000).
02
"Stacking" Your Policies
If you have multiple vehicles with UM coverage, Oklahoma law may allow you to "stack" them. For example, if you have 3 cars with $25,000 UM each, you might have access to $75,000 in total coverage.
We also look at:
- Multiple vehicles on your policy
- Other household policies
- Umbrella policies
We identify available coverage and the records needed to evaluate the claim.
03
Will My Rates Go Up?
No. Oklahoma law prohibits insurance companies from raising your rates for filing a UM/UIM claim if the accident was not your fault.
04
Hit and Run Cases
If you are the victim of a hit-and-run, your UM coverage may be important. The policy, facts, notice requirements, and available records should be reviewed even if the other driver is not found.
