Dallas Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist

Texas requires that all motorist carry liability insurance. However, despite our laws, many Texas drivers do comply with the law. A study in 2011 that was conducted by the Insurance Researched Council found that one in seven drivers do not carry liability insurance. Unfortunately most of the victims of these uninsured motorists often recover nothing from the uninsured motorist.

In Texas the minimum liability limits are $30,000 for each injured person, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage per accident. This basic coverage is called 30/60/25 coverage. It is recommended that you consider buying more than the basic limits if you wish to protect yourself from financial liability due to the high cost of cars and the high cost of medical care.

The penalties for breaking Texas’ financial responsibility law include fines between $175 up to $1000, suspension of your state issued driver’s license, and impoundment of your car.

If you are involved in a car accident and the other driver is at fault the pursuit of damages is against that driver’s liability insurance coverage. Unfortunately most of the time the motorist who is not at fault is forced to file a claim under their own insurance in order to recover their damages.
