Find Out Your Legal Rights
Even though Texas law requires drivers to carry auto insurance, there are a large number of drivers who do not. Some never had insurance to begin with, or they had it but allowed it to expire. Other drivers have insurance, but they do not have enough to cover the cost of medical care and other expenses for a person whom they injure in a car accident. When uninsured or underinsured drivers cause another person to suffer serious injuries, it often takes legal action to hold them accountable for their actions.
We are a small, specialized law firm, which means that we can take the time to give each of our clients the individual attention that they deserve. As part of our commitment to honesty and integrity, we do not take every case – only those that are legitimate and have the potential of recovering compensation for the victim.
In Texas, uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage is not automatic; they are optional policies that require an additional premium. Generally speaking, the coverage is usually very affordable, especially considering that it may be your only source of compensation after a car accident.
If you are hit by an uninsured driver, or by someone who does not have enough to pay your claim, your UM/UIM coverage may pay your expenses up to your policy limit. UM coverage is also supposed to provide compensation if you are the victim of a hit and run accident. Unfortunately, this does not always occur.
Even though you have faithfully paid premiums, your insurer may try to avoid paying you the benefits you deserve. Our Austin auto accident lawyer knows how to deal with insurers, and our law firm will strongly advocate for your best interests. We will handle the legal aspects of your case – all you need to do is focus on healing and putting your life back together.
The policy provisions for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage are complex, and getting the compensation you deserve takes an experienced personal injury attorney. At The Law Offices of Aaron Allison, we search out every possible source of compensation for auto accident victims, including compensation under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
We are on your side, even if your insurance company is not. To arrange a free initial consultation, call (512) 474-8346 or contact our Austin injury attorney online. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we do not collect attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
