Recovering Compensation After an Accident with an Uninsured Driver
If an uninsured driver has hit you, you may have several avenues for recovering compensation. For example, you could pursue legal claims against the at-fault driver to recover from their personal assets. You could also file a claim with your insurance company if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage included in your policy. While uninsured motorist coverage is optional, you likely have it unless you rejected it in writing at the time of purchase.
The car accident attorneys with Fibich, Leebron, Copeland & Briggs can pursue your various claims on your behalf, seeking fair compensation for your:
- Vehicle repair expenses, alternative transportation costs, or reimbursement for your car’s value if the crash totals it
- Medical bills, including medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses
- Costs of long-term disability care, such as home health services, housekeeping/childcare assistance, or home renovations to install disability accommodations
- Ongoing and future losses of wages and job benefits due to missed work
- Physical pain and anguish
- Emotional trauma and distress
- Lost quality of life due to physical disabilities or disfigurement
Statute of Limitations for Uninsured Motorist Claims in Houston
Under Texas’s statute of limitations for accident claims, you typically have two years to file a lawsuit against an uninsured or underinsured driver. If your insurer wrongfully denies your claim, Texas law gives you two years from the bad faith denial to pursue a lawsuit against your car insurance company. Because you have limited time to pursue legal action in an uninsured motorist claim, talk to an uninsured motorist accident lawyer as soon as possible after a crash.
