Laredo Accident Lawyer Handling Uninsured Motorist Claims
Texas law requires all drivers to carry insurance. Unfortunately there are times when people do not follow the law. Fortunately many drivers carry an “uninsured motorists” policy. These policies allow for a driver to make a claim against their own carrier when the negligent driver did not have insurance or lacked adequate coverage. If you have been hit by an uninsured driver, or if you have been the victim of a hit and run, then you have options. Joey Tellez is a Laredo personal injury lawyer assisting Texas drivers who need to file an uninsured motorists claim. Joey takes great pride in the service he provides to clients and our office is ready to assist you. Contact us today to speak with an attorney.
Laredo car accident attorney assisting those injured in a hit and run or by a driver with no insurance
Texas motorists have the option of carrying coverage on their own policy that will deal with uninsured or under insured drivers. These policies allow one to know that they are insured regardless of what happens on the road. Those who have such coverage may make a claim against their own insurance policy when they are hit by a driver who does not have insurance, who lacks the coverage necessary to cover all the damages incurred, or when the offending driver fled the scene of the accident. The amount of damages which one's under insured policy will pay out is determined by the specifics of the coverage. The holder of such a policy will be able to recover damages as long as they are not found to have been more than fifty percent responsible for the accident.
Under insured claims begin in the same manner as any other car accident. The first step in such cases is for counsel to contact the insurance carrier. This will allow the lawyer to deal with the insurer directly. Counsel will gather proof of your financial losses (such as lost wages, medical bills, etc.) and proof of the other driver's negligence to the insurer. A demand for payment will be submitted on your behalf and if a reasonable settlement cannot be obtained then a lawsuit will be filed against your insurance carrier. If necessary the case will proceed to trial and a jury will decide issues of liability and damages. Under insured/uninsured cases can be as complicated as other injury related matters. It is important that you retain experienced counsel to assist you.
