Why You Need An Aggressive Uninsured Motorist Injury Lawyer
State law requires all Missouri and Kansas motorists to carry liability insurance. But a 2005 Missouri insurance department audit found that 12 percent of motorists who certified that they were insured had no insurance. The audit found that there were holes in the Missouri Department of Insurance’s system for ensuring that motorists comply with the vehicle financial responsibility law by retaining valid insurance policies. More than 20 percent of the registered vehicles were excluded from the insurance verification process. Even though Missouri and Kansas laws require motorists to have liability insurance, it’s fair to assume that there are many uninsured and underinsured motorists on the highway.
