Understanding Uninsured Motorist Cases

Common Causes

  • At fault drivers who never purchased liability insurance
  • Drivers whose insurance policies lapsed before the accident
  • At fault drivers carrying only minimum liability limits insufficient to cover damages
  • Hit and run drivers who cannot be identified
  • Out of state drivers with inadequate coverage for Texas claims
  • Stolen vehicles operated by people with no insurance connection to the car

Typical Injuries

  • All injury types common to motor vehicle accidents
  • Injuries requiring expensive long term treatment exceeding available coverage
  • Traumatic brain injuries with lifetime care costs
  • Spinal cord injuries requiring ongoing rehabilitation
  • Multiple fractures needing surgical intervention
  • Chronic pain conditions requiring pain management

Establishing Liability

When the at fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage, the injured party files a claim under their own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy. The UM/UIM carrier steps into the shoes of the at fault driver, and the injured party must prove the other driver was negligent just as they would in a standard liability claim. Insurance companies handling UM/UIM claims often dispute the severity of injuries and the amount of damages, making it important to thoroughly document all losses.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas Insurance Code Section 1952.101 requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to all policyholders, and coverage can only be rejected in writing. UM/UIM coverage in Texas is designed to place the insured in the same position they would be in if the at fault driver had adequate liability insurance. Under Texas law, stacking of UM/UIM coverage across multiple vehicles on the same policy is permitted unless the policyholder waived stacking in writing.
