Transcript

Hit by an uninsured driver in Illinois? Your claim may go to arbitration. Illinois policies must include uninsured motorist coverage. Disputes over coverage or damages go to arbitration, not a jury. That means the American Arbitration Association, or a three-person panel: one arbitrator per side, plus a third they choose. Gather bills, wage records and the police report, and share them early. Check your policy's arbitration clause. Compare free quotes at autoinsurancebundle.pro.
