Texas motorists are required to carry liability insurance coverage to drive. Unfortunately, not everyone follows the law. In fact, there are a lot of drivers who buy coverage long enough to get their car registered and then drop the insurance. If you are unlucky enough to be involved in an uninsured motorist accident, it can be frustrating trying to recover damages. For this reason, responsible drivers like you and I have Uninsured Motorist coverage and Underinsured Motorist coverage, or UM/ UIM. This coverage obligates your insurance company to pay for your losses if the negligent driver who hit you isn’t able to. An uninsured motorist attorney, like Todd R. Durham, can help answer all your questions.

Durham Law Firm can be your voice and fight for the maximum compensation.
All drivers in Texas are required to carry liability insurance for bodily injury to others. The minimum limits for Texas are $25,000 per person, up to a total of $50,000 for all people injured in a single accident.
The uninsured/underinsured motorist portion of your policy should pay if:
The at-fault driver does not have auto insurance coverage.
A majority of drivers who only want minimum coverage will only carry the state-required limits, which creates some serious problems especially if there are injuries that exceed their underinsured motorist limits. With the rising cost of medical care, you can see how $25,000 can quickly be exhausted in less than a day. The ambulance, surgery, and several days in a hospital can go well beyond $100,000. That does not count physical rehab, wage loss, possible ongoing disability, or pain and suffering.
