If the at-fault driver has no insurance, that person is subject to a fine or citation from the police. In Pennsylvania, all drivers are required to carry car insurance.
But, what if you are injured? This is why is it important to have "uninsured motorist coverage" (UM Coverage) on our auto insurance policy. This is what protects you and your family against uninsured drivers. If you have UM coverage, you can apply for bodily injury damages under your own policy. Since the crash was not your fault and since you have paid premiums over the years for this coverage, it does not raise your rates.
If you would like more information about "uninsured motorist coverage" or "underinsured motorist coverage", feel free to contact us.

About Me
- David Schreiber
- I have been practicing law since 1994. From 1994-1998, I was a State's Attorney with the "Governor's Law Firm", called the Office of General Counsel. I represented the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Civil Actions, including winning cases on appeal before the Commonwealth Court. In 1998, I joined a local firm. I became a shareholder. I am now a Partner at Wolpert Schreiber P.C., focusing on injury law and insurance disputes. I am one of the few lawyers handling injury cases who has worked exclusively both as a lawyer for injured people and in house for a large law group defending those claims when I was with the "Governor's Law Firm". My work also includes Insurance Disputes and Contracts. I have successfully handled hundreds and hundreds of cases, including cases to jury verdict, in State and Federal Court. I am honored to help people who come to us to solve their problems. Our goal is to seek truth and accountability, while working as hard as possible for our clients. I have obtained millions of dollars in recoveries for clients over the years. We work for your case.
