In Texas, all drivers are required to carry auto insurance. However, some drivers may be unable to afford to carry this type of insurance.
An uninsured motorist in Texas may face criminal charges for not carrying auto insurance, but unfortunately, you will probably not be able to recover for your injuries from the uninsured driver. Instead, all insurance policies in Texas offer uninsured or underinsured coverage, and your best bet will be to go directly through your insurance provider in order to receive proper compensation.
In order to maximize your chances of receiving the proper amount of compensation you need to cover your damages, you should follow a few important steps.

Immediately after the accident, make sure to call the police. It will be important to have proper documentation in order to help prove the facts of your case to the insurance company.
A police report will say who was at fault for the accident, which may be a key factor the insurance company uses in determining what your compensation should be.

Available 24 / 7|Free ConsultationContact the Driver Who Hit You
If you are able to, speak with the other driver. Ask them for their contact information.
Your insurance company may need to contact them in order to verify his or her uninsured status. The insurance company may also ask the uninsured driver for more details about the accident.
Sometimes, uninsured or underinsured drivers are more likely to hit and run. If you are unable to talk with the driver after the accident, make sure to take note of any important details about the driver or his or her car.
The more detail you have, the more likely it will be that either the insurance company, the police, or a lawyer will be able to find the uninsured or underinsured driver.

If you sustain any injuries, be sure to go to the hospital or visit a doctor immediately in order to receive proper treatment. Some injuries after car accidents do not present any symptoms right away, so you should make sure to monitor your health closely for a while to make sure you don’t have any latent injuries.
Either way, going to a doctor for treatment will serve to both document your injuries and ensure you recover as quickly and safely as possible.
Can Your Insurance Cover for an Uninsured Motorist?
Contact your insurance provider and alert them of the accident and the extent of your damages. Insurance companies often offer you less compensation than what your case is actually worth, so it might be wise to contact an attorney before accepting any offer the insurance company gives you.
Speaking with a personal injury attorney may help you discover what your claim is actually worth. An experienced personal injury attorney may be able to help you navigate the negotiating process with your insurance company.
