Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
It is estimated that up to one third of all drivers on the road have
no insurance at all. They either can not afford insurance or do not
carry enough insurance to adequately protect them in an accident.
This disregard for auto insurance regulations can leave other law
abiding drivers at serious financial risk for injuries sustained from
an accident with one of these uninsured motorists. If you have been
in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, it is critical
to contact a Texas auto accident lawyer right away. You do not want
to speak with the insurance carrier and inadvertently give up your
valuable rights. An auto accident attorney can advise you on what
not to say to an insurance carrier and can help you get the compensation
you deserve for your injuires.
Uninsured Motorist
Uninsured Motorist coverage is an elective coverage that can protect
you in the event you have an accident with an uninsured motorist.
As we have seen, many drivers on Texas roads do not carry insurance
so this type of coverage is valuable to purchase. It is important
to contact your insurance carrier first if you have had an accident
with an uninsured motorist and you carry uninsured motorist protection.
You must follow certain procedures in order to not give up your benefits.
Your San Antonio auto accident lawyer can best inform you of the procedures
to follow in order to get properly compensated for your injuries.
Underinsured Motorist
As its name suggests, underinsured motorist coverage protects you
in the event the at - fault driver was not adequately insured to cover
the amount of damages you sustained in the accident. Typically underinsured
motorist carry on the legal limit of insurance which can be woefully
inadequate in the event of an accident. You should contact a San Antonio
auto accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Do
not attempt to settle with an insurance company before first contacting
a lawyer. You may forfeit your underinsured motorist benefits if you
do not get “permission to settle” from your insurance carrier. Don’t
let this happen to you. Call the auto accident lawyers at Rush & Gransee,
