Moreover, Richard Voorhies, Attorney at Law, understands the defenses which inusrance companies will often emplore in their attempt to deny coverage for auto accidents/car wrecks.  For instance, it is not uncommon - especially in car wrecks and auto accident cases - for the negligent driver's insurance carrier to deny coverage to the injured party for a litany of reasons, including permissive use.  Essentially, a denial of coverage based on "permissive use" means that the insurance carrier believes that coverage does not extend to the driver whose negligence caused the car wreck / auto accident because he/she is not listed on the policy, or because they drove the insured automobile without permission.  This defense, however, is not impenetrable and may be circumvented by the injured party in certain instances.    Richard Voorhies, Attorney at Law, is experienced in this area and recognizes tactics like these which are implemented by insurance companies to deny responsibility for auto accidents.

Similarly, there may be a way for the injured person to recover insurance proceeds in cases involving car wrecks and auto accidents even where the negligent driver  has no automotive insurance coverage.  Uninsured Motorist coverage may be attached to your policy and, if so, may provide a remedy for insureds who are injured in a car or automobile accident which was caused by an uninsured driver.  Thus, it is important to scrutinize your auto insurance policy and determine whether you have Uninsured Motorist coverage.   In addition, it's a good idea to review your automobile policy coverage to ensure that all drivers of the vehicle would be classified as a covered insured. 

Like many types of cases, Richard will take your personal injury case on contingency fee, meaning you pay nothing for his fees unless he is able to recover for you (of course, even on contingency fee cases, the client is responsible for all case costs).  Know your rights and seek the compensation you deserve for your personal injury!
