In California, if the at-fault driver in an accident was either an uninsured or underinsured motorist and you have uninsured/underinsured insurance coverage, your insurance will cover your personal injury claim up to the limits of your policy. When an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim is made, your insurance company then stands in the shoes of the uninsured/underinsured motorist. At this point, the insurance company then becomes your adversary even though you pay your insurance company for this coverage. Thus, your insurance company does not represent you.
If you or someone you know has been in an accident related to drinking and driving, or have a claim for personal injury it is good to get a full understanding of your rights under the current state of the California law.
