What Are My Legal Options After an Accident With an Uninsured Driver in Dallas?
Texas law requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but many motorists ignore this requirement or allow their coverage to lapse. When an uninsured or underinsured driver causes a crash, you may still have several paths to compensation.
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage
Most Texas auto insurance policies include uninsured motorist coverage unless the policyholder rejects it in writing.
UM coverage may help pay for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Property damage
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Out-of-pocket expenses
This coverage exists specifically to protect you when another driver has no insurance or leaves the scene of a crash.
Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage
Sometimes the at-fault driver carries insurance, but not enough to cover the full cost of serious injuries. In these cases, underinsured motorist coverage can bridge the gap between the other driver’s limits and your total damages.
Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
You may also have the right to file a lawsuit directly against the uninsured driver. However, these cases may not offer adequate compensation since uninsured drivers frequently lack sufficient assets to satisfy a judgment.
Our firm evaluates every available option and develops a strategy focused on maximizing your recovery.
How Much Is My Uninsured Motorist Claim Worth?
Every uninsured motorist claim is different. The value depends on the unique facts and circumstances of your case, including the severity of your injuries and the limits of your UM/UIM policy.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Current and future medical bills
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize payouts on uninsured motorist claims because they are paying from their own funds. An experienced attorney can challenge low offers and present a claim that reflects the true cost of your injuries.
How Long Do I Have to File an Uninsured Motorist Claim in Texas?
Texas generally provides two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, uninsured motorist claims also involve contractual deadlines set by your insurance policy.
Therefore, you should report the accident to your insurer promptly. If you miss the deadline or fail to follow policy requirements, you may lose your right to recover compensation. Early legal guidance can help you comply with the deadlines.
