If you are injured in an automobile accident while driving a borrowed car, you may be entitled to recover your personal injury damages under multiple automobile insurance policies. The personal injury lawyers of Maginnis Howard, PLLC can help you identify those automobile policies and determine the amount of coverage provided by each.
In a typical loaned car case, there is potential to recover under at least three motor vehicle policies: (1) the at-fault driver’s policy; (2) the policy on the borrowed vehicle; and (3) your personal automobile policy. To make a claim against your policy or the policy on the loaned vehicle, you must first recover the limits of liability coverage provided by the at-fault driver’s policy.
After recovering the limits of the at-fault driver’s policy, you may then be entitled to recover pursuant to the underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage provided in your policy and the policy on the borrowed car. The amount of UIM coverage provided by your policy and the policy on the borrowed vehicle will depend upon the particular coverage limits provided in the other policies.
