Texas requires that all drivers carry vehicle liability insurance. Unfortunately, the State of Texas estimates that about 20 percent of drivers are uninsured.

Texas’s insurance minimums have not changed even as medical costs have risen exponentially. Therefore, a serious accident is likely to leave you with medical bills and lost wages well in excess of these figures. What if an Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist Causes an Accident? We strongly urge you to obtain additional policies that provide coverage should you be hit by a driver who has only the minimum required liability insurance or no insurance at all. For a small additional premium, you have the option of purchasing:
If an uninsured motorist causes an accident, your insurance will kick in and cover the property damages and personal injury amounts up to the limits of your policy.
If a motorist is underinsured, meaning your damages exceed the at-fault driver’s coverage, his liability insurance will be responsible for the amount of the damages up to the limits of his policy and additional damages will be paid by your insurance up to the limits of your policies. An accident lawyer in Fort Worth can guide you through this process of stacking insurance policies to maximize your recovery.
Under these circumstances, your insurance is used to compensate you for another driver’s mistake. You, therefore, need to get every dime possible from both the uninsured or underinsured motorist’s insurance company, as well as your own. If the combined amounts do not cover the costs of the accident, your medical bills may go uncompensated, even if you were an innocent victim of another’s negligent driving. Our attorney can also negotiate directly with your medical providers for reductions of your bills.
