hit and run

After a serious car accident, many Texans are shocked to discover the at-fault driver either has no insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover their damages. Fortunately, Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage may be available through your own insurance policy. Many people assume that because they are dealing with their own insurance company, hiring a lawyer is unnecessary. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

After an accident involving an uninsured or underinsured driver, things can get complicated quickly. You may be dealing with your own insurance company, trying to understand your coverage, and figuring out what your claim is actually worth.

A hit-and-run accident is one of the most distressing experiences a crash victim can face. In addition to physical injuries and vehicle damage, victims are often left feeling angry, confused, and uncertain about how they will pay for medical care when the at-fault driver has fled the scene.

Been in a car accident? You might feel confused or even guilty. Your very first thought might be to apologize to the other driver. But there are several very compelling reasons why you should NOT do that.
