Getting these vehicles repaired can cost a lot of money, and if you’re hit by a driver without enough (or without any) insurance, that can cause problems very quickly.
A Dallas car wreck lawyer can help you if you find yourself in this situation. Every driver has a responsibility to carry insurance on their vehicles, at least for liability. This means that, if they do not, you may find yourself expecting to get paid for the damages they cause but have no money forthcoming. One of your options in this situation is to sue for damages. Lawsuit awards can also be set at a level that compensates you for your pain and suffering, as well as for your property damage, which can be very helpful if it was a particularly bad wreck.
Ideally, however, you should carry enough insurance that you’re covered if an uninsured driver slams into you. This insurance is called uninsured motorist coverage and it’s important to carry it because, as any auto accidents attorney can tell you, not everyone adheres to the requirements of financial responsibility laws. Dallas accident attorneys may be able to put together a lawsuit that will help you to get compensation through a jury trial or through a settlement.
If you have a very expensive vehicle, consider getting uninsured motorist coverage and comprehensive coverage. With a good vehicle, it makes sense to prepare for situations where it may be damaged through the negligence of another driver. If you only carry liability, there will be no coverage for you if your vehicle is damaged in a wreck, so you want to make sure you’re not left on the side of the road with a vehicle you cannot afford to repair. If you do, however, there may be legal avenues available to you.
Talk to an attorney and see if you have the option of filing a lawsuit. It may turn out that you do, and that a jury award or settlement could net you enough compensation to cover 100% of your losses.
