Houston Personal Injury Attorney Handling Motorcycle Accidents

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Accidents

When you or a loved one has been the victim in a motorcycle accident, you rely on your insurance company to handle the costs of any damages that have happened. Texas car accident laws operate under a system of "proportional comparison fault" which means that if you are less than 49% at fault for the accident, you are entitled to seek compensation from the driver who carries the majority of the fault for the accident. However, if that person is uninsured or underinsured, you may be wondering how you will receive payment for your injuries and auto repairs. If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, contact a Houston personal injury attorney today to discuss your options.

In the state of Texas, it is required by law that you have car insurance if you are driving. However, due to a high population of unlicensed drivers in Texas, many people do not have car insurance. If you are in an accident and the other driver does not have car insurance you can, and should, take legal action against them. Driving without car insurance doesn't just put the driver at risk. Anyone that is involved in an accident with them will be unable to receive payment from them for an accident they caused. This is dangerous, illegal, and not fair to the insured motorists of the state. Contact an attorney from our firm today to find out what legal recourse you have in this matter.
