Why Underinsured Motorist Coverage Matters for Drivers in Conroe, TX
Texas requires drivers to carry liability insurance of at least $30,000 for one injured person and $60,000 for everyone injured, plus $25,000 for property damage. Those minimums can fall well short of hospital bills after a serious collision. Some drivers also carry no insurance at all, which leaves an injured person looking for another source of payment.
Texas insurers must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, known as UM/UIM, and a policyholder has to reject it in writing to go without it. This coverage can step in when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little to cover the losses.
A UM/UIM claim generally still requires showing that the other driver was legally responsible and that the losses exceed what that driver's policy pays.
Policies can also contain terms about settling with the at-fault driver, so reading the policy before agreeing to anything matters. A car accident lawyer can review the declarations page, confirm whether UM/UIM was chosen or rejected in writing, and explain how a claim may move forward within the deadlines that apply to most Texas injury lawsuits.
