Since there are millions of uninsured and underinsured motorists in Texas, auto insurance companies offer drivers uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which are optional in our state.
“Unfortunately, the vast majority of drivers in Texas purchase only what’s required by law and opt for the bare minimum insurance coverage,” warns our Dallas underinsured and uninsured motorist accident attorney at the Law Office of Dorothy Hyde.
Recovering damages after a car accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver in Dallas or elsewhere in Texas can feel like an uphill battle, especially if you do not carry the optional uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. In many cases, drivers who sustain injuries in car crashes involving uninsured motorists and do not exhaust all legal options to seek reimbursement are unable to seek full compensation for their losses and damages.
