Have you had an accident with an underinsured or uninsured motorist?
According to state laws, Texas motorists must have liability insurance. Numerous reports have indicated, however, that many drivers do not. In some parts of the state, up to 25% of drivers are not insured. These drivers are called uninsured motorists. Drivers who are insured but do not have enough liability coverage to pay for the actual costs of an accident are called underinsured motorists. If you have been in an accident with either an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may have some difficulty securing financial compensation, especially if you don’t have uninsured motorist coverage.
Even with this coverage, securing compensation can be difficult. Insurance companies will often try to delay or entirely ignore your claim, especially when filing for compensation for an accident you didn’t even cause. Many auto accident lawsuits involve many defendants. Even if the driver who caused the accident was not insured, there may be other liable parties from whom you can seek restitution. The bottom line is that a personal injury attorney can usually help, no matter what situation you are in.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
