THE PERSON WHO HIT ME WAS ARRESTED AND SERVED 2 DAYS IN JAIL, HAS NOT CONTACTED HER INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY CANNOT CONTACT HER. I HAVE OBTAINED A LAWYER.

    UIM is uninsured motorist coverage. She's not uninsured. Her insurance company will use all available means to contact her including personal contact. If it all fails, they MAY deny for non-cooperation, but that's difficult to do in VA, especially if there is a police report indicating she was at fault. Most likely non cooperation will just delay the claim payment, not prevent it. Your lawyer should take care of everything for you.
