Es cierto que la cuarentena ha modificó los hábitos para conducir de los estadounidenses, pero se espera que muchas personas no se den cuenta de las posibles consecuencias de estar en la carretera mientras continúa el impacto del COVID.  El tráfico vuelve a su normalidad, y la gente regresa al transporte público, también es importante pensar en la posibilidad de sufrir un accidente. 

Hay algunos conductores que actualmente no tienen seguro, lo que significa que la cobertura de automovilistas no asegurados y el Seguro GAP son aún más importante como conductor de California.

Si por algún motivo tiene que utilizar su automóvil y sufre un accidente, asegúrese de conocer sus derechos, en caso que la otra persona no tenga suficiente cobertura de seguro. 

Leyes Básicas de California sobre Seguros

Cualquier vehículo que posea significa que debe demostrar responsabilidad financiera. Su póliza de seguro de automóvil explica sus costos, coberturas y cualquier exclusión necesaria. Es importante saber que las pólizas de seguro de automóviles en California pueden variar mucho, pero todas deben cumplir con los mínimos de California.

Si bien usted tiene cobertura propia, no puede garantizar que otra persona con la que involucre en un accidente cumpla con los requisitos mínimos de cobertura. Esto puede representarle grandes gastos médicos.

Cobertura de Responsabilidad Bajo la Ley de California

La cobertura de responsabilidad es la que se activa para pagar daños o lesiones a otros cuando usted es responsable del accidente. Si conduce y posee un vehículo, debe acatar las leyes de responsabilidad financiera descritas en el Código de Vehículos de California mediante la compra de cobertura de responsabilidad automotriz. En California, esto incluye:

  • $15,000 por la muerte o lesión a cualquier persona.
  • Un total de $30,000 en pagos por lesiones o muerte de más de una persona en un accidente.
  • Si dos o más personas se lesionan, entonces esta cobertura pagará un máximo de $30,000 y las partes lesionadas deberán repartirse el dinero.
  • Esta cobertura se aplica únicamente a las lesiones que usted le causó a la otra persona.

Políticas de Responsabilidad por Daños bajo la Ley de California

Sus límites mínimos de responsabilidad por daños a la propiedad incluyen:

  • $5,000 por daños a la propiedad de otras personas,
  • Lo que ayuda con el daño ocasionado al coche de otra persona o estructuras u objetos que su coche golpea.

Por qué podría necesitar cobertura de automovilistas sin seguro

La cobertura de automovilistas sin seguro, UMC, y el seguro de automovilistas con seguro insuficiente, UIM, son tipos de cobertura opcionales, aunque las compañías de seguros de California tienen que ofrecérselo. 

Si decide no adquirir el seguro después de que se le haya ofrecido, tendrá que firmar una exención. La cobertura de lesiones corporales para automovilistas sin seguro paga por las lesiones que sufra usted y cualquier persona en su automóvil cuando hay un accidente en el que un conductor de vehículo sin seguro es el culpable.

Los límites serán los mismos que los de la cobertura de responsabilidad. Para la cobertura de los automovilistas no asegurados, esto cubre los gastos de lesiones corporales si usted sufre un accidente con un conductor que no tiene un seguro adecuado para pagar los daños. Cuando se trata de daños a la propiedad del automovilista sin seguro, esto paga por los daños a su vehículo por un accidente con un conductor no asegurado que fue el responsable, con un máximo de $3,500.

Esto sólo se pagará si se identifica al conductor no asegurado y si tiene cobertura de colisión, es posible que no requiera esto. Es posible que tenga disponibles tipos adicionales de cobertura en su póliza de seguro, reconociendo que algunas partes pueden omitir el seguro necesario.

¿Puedo presentar una denuncia por lesiones personales contra un conductor no asegurado?

Puede ser una sorpresa poco agradable descubrir que un conductor con el que acaba de estar involucrado en un accidente no tiene el seguro adecuado. El conductor responsable podrá enfrentar sanciones del estado de California por no contar con un seguro, pero estas sanciones no se le otorgan para ayudar a pagar sus lesiones o atención médica.

Si un conductor no tiene seguro, esto a menudo es una señal de que no tiene recursos financieros disponibles ni siquiera para pagar la cobertura del seguro, lo que significa que presentar una demanda por lesiones personales podría no ser la opción de recuperación más viable. Ésta es la razón por la que se aconseja encarecidamente que compre y mantenga una política de automovilistas no asegurados/sumos seguros.

¿Qué hacer cuando choca con un vehículo no asegurado?

Hay un par de pasos diferentes que debe tomar incluso después de sufrir un accidente con un conductor no asegurado. En primer lugar, reporte el accidente a la policía. Incluso los accidentes menores deben reportarse a la policía. Siempre busque atención médica para atender sus lesiones, incluso si le preocupa cómo podría pagar por la atención. Un abogado de lesiones personales podría guiarlo a lo largo del proceso de recuperación de la compensación y las opciones disponibles para usted.

Las fuentes de compensación en este tipo de situaciones pueden incluir su seguro médico, su cobertura de automovilistas no asegurados o sumos asegurados, su cobertura de MedPay o su cobertura de daños físicos. Querrá analizar todos estos aspectos con su abogado de lesiones personales para tener una buena perspectiva sobre cómo comunicarse con la compañía de seguros. Para protegerse mejor con los conductores en la carretera que podrían no tener la cobertura adecuada, se recomienda encarecidamente que consulte con un abogado de lesiones personales con experiencia y dedicación.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
