My insurance agent admitted to me that, in order to be paid for "pain and suffering" or a long term illiness, I would need to hire a lawyer and sue the insurance company. Also, not a good deal because the lawyer would take 30 to 40 percent of any settlement as a fee. That is why I self insure.
That does not make any sense at all. Why should you pay any of your medical expenses or rehab when the uninsured motorist caused the damages ? If the other driver is at fault, they would be held responsible.
