What happens if the driver who hit me was not carrying liability insurance?
This situation is, unfortunately, all too common. Although liability insurance is required by law for motorists in Texas, many drivers do not have it. Even when drivers do carry insurance with the minimum limits the law requires, it is often not enough to cover serious motorcycle crash injuries.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle crash caused by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage, you may file a claim for compensation under your own policy’s uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Insurance companies are sometimes reluctant to pay full compensation on this type of claim – even though you paid your premiums. At Kraft & Associates, P.C., our seasoned Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer will fight aggressively for the maximum compensation you are entitled to receive from all available sources.
