Understanding a Statutory Offer to Compromise Under CCP Section 998

What Is Uninsured Motorist Coverage and Why Do You Need It?
I always tell my clients, relatives, and friends that Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage is the most important type of insurance they will ever purchase.

If you are seriously injured in a car accident, this minimum coverage may not be enough to compensate you for your injury.

How Insurance Companies Use Your Personal Information
If you have been involved in an accident, you can expect to be contacted by a claim adjuster from the other party’s insurance company. The claim adjuster will request certain personal information, including your full name, address, date of birth and Social Security number. The claim adjuster also may request the name of your primary care doctor or your health insurance. You may be told that this information is required to open a claim or maybe that no settlement check can be issued without this information. Do you give the claim adjuster your personal information?
