- Number of Uninsured Arizona Motorists Exceeds National Average | Legal News | News Ticker
Arizona, like every other jurisdiction, has laws in existence that require auto insurance for those who drive vehicles. Unfortunately, and once again like every other jurisdiction, there are drivers on the road who do not have insurance coverage, which creates a high degree of risk for those who are involved with them in accidents. Even worse is the news that Arizona has a higher rate of uninsured motorists than the national average, which means that if you or someone you love has been harmed in a car accident, you need to seek the help of Arizona car accident lawyers as soon as possible.
Arizona Uninsured Motorists
Recently, the Insurance Information Institute released information regarding uninsured drivers around the United States. On a national level, approximately 13 percent of motorists do not carry coverage. In Arizona, the number is higher, and it currently sits at around 20 percent. This number is alarming for many reasons, not the least of which is that one in five vehicles on the road at any given time are not covered by a policy. In addition, Arizona has some of the lowest coverage limits in the United States, which means that those who do not have insurance are really not saving themselves much in monthly payments while simultaneously raising the financial risks for everyone who obeys the law.
How to Deal with Uninsured Motorists in Arizona Car Accidents
If you or someone you love has been involved in an Arizona car accident with an uninsured motorist, you are not without options. Most people who do have insurance coverage also purchase what’s known as Uninsured Motorist coverage, or UIM. UIM’s purpose is to provide a safety net of a recovery for those who need financial relief but cannot get it from the other driver’s nonexistent coverage. Basically, a claim should be filed with the injured driver’s own insurance company.
Unfortunately, these claims are not always approved, and it can be a difficult process to recover a settlement. If this situation sounds all too familiar, contact the Arizona car accident lawyers at Phillips Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
