What Are Your Compensation Options After An Accident With An Uninsured Driver?
People often think about drivers suing other drivers after an auto accident. Most of the time, however, the at-fault driver’s insurance company is responsible for paying the costs of an accident. This presents a real problem when a negligent driver doesn’t have insurance.
If your crash was caused by an uninsured driver, the path forward will be more complex and less certain than it would otherwise be. You do have some legal options, however. They include:
Filing an uninsured motorist claim. In Texas, you have uninsured motorist coverage automatically unless you make an effort to opt out of it in a letter to your insurer. Our attorneys can explain your coverage and help you file a claim against your own insurance policy.
Suing the at-fault driver directly. Uninsured drivers personally assume liability for accidents they cause. The idea of suing them directly might sound appealing, but is it worth the effort? The answer to that question depends on what kind of financial resources they have. If the at-fault driver is somewhat wealthy and simply allowed their insurance to lapse by accident, a direct lawsuit might make sense. However, if they don’t have insurance because they can’t afford it, suing them for damages might be fruitless.
Utilizing your other insurance policies. You’ll need medical care after being injured in a car accident. If the other driver is uninsured and can’t pay your medical bills directly, you have the option of using your own health insurance policy. Unfortunately, this leaves you responsible for copays, coinsurance, deductibles and any other out-of-pocket expenses associated with your treatment.
Before you make any decisions about what to do, we encourage you to contact our firm and speak to one of our experienced personal injury attorneys. They can help you understand and utilize all available legal options and protect your rights throughout the process.
