QUESTION

More details to this question:
coverage but you received a permanent injury from the accident. The problem with the payout was that I had to sue my own insurance company in order to be compensated and I don't feel I received a fair judgement. Please advise me on this matter, the acident happened on July 31, 2010 and I just received payment in April 2013.

Yes. If the uninsured driver was an adult, the collision occurred in Maryland, the uninsured driver lives & works in Maryland, then you would have three years from the date of the collision to sue that driver. Also, keep in mind that any money you collect from the uninsured driver might have to be turned over to your own auto insurance company since they paid you Uninsured Motorist benefits. Good luck with this matter.
