Involved In An Auto Accident With An Uninsured Driver? You Have Options.

Under Texas law, drivers are required to carry a minimum amount of personal injury protection insurance coverage in the event of an accident. Anyone injured in an accident is entitled to sue for damages from the negligent driver’s insurance company. Unfortunately, as many as 25 percent of drivers on Texas roads do not carry enough insurance to cover the full extent of damages or carry no insurance at all.

You May Be Able To File A Claim On Your Own Policy

If you were unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist (UIM), there are options available for filing a claim against your own policy, as well as suing the other party for personal assets. The requirements for filing a successful claim under Texas laws are complicated, and you should refer your case to an experienced insurance litigation attorney.
