FAQ

I work for an insurance company, and FYI, anytime your insurance pays out on a claim for you, your rates WILL go up, regardless of fault. And when you ARE deemed at fault, which you were here, the rate will go up even more. You are now a higher risk for them. So this makes sense.

In sum, it is vital to report any accident to your insurance company promptly. This will avoid giving your insurance company a basis for denying coverage that may otherwise be available to you. It will also activate many types of coverage to help you through this difficult time.

In Texas, these can include: Fines from $175 to $350 for a first offense, and up to $1000 for a subsequent offense. Having your driver's license suspended (for repeat offenders)

Always File a Claim, Regardless of Who Was At-Fault One of the primary questions we receive from clients who have been in an accident is whether they should report the accident to their own auto insurance carrier, particularly when the accident was not their fault. And the answer to that question is: always.

Your Obligation to Report the Accident:Check Your Insurance Policy: Most insurance policies require you to report any accident you're involved in, regardless of fault. Failing to do so could lead to complications with your insurance provider, including the possibility of losing coverage for the incident.

There are two types of UM/UIM coverage: Bodily Injury – This covers medical bills, lost wages, physical pain, disfigurement, and permanent or partial disability. Property Damage – This covers auto repairs, a rental car, and damage to items in your car, such as a car seat or GPS device.

If a driver hits your vehicle and flees, you can file a claim against your policy's uninsured motorist coverage. However, in some states, uninsured motorist coverage for property damage (UMPD) will not cover hit-and-run incidents.

The amount of your UMPD deductible will vary based on your state. It usually falls in between $100-$1,000. Note that some states may have a separate deductible for hit-and-run claims.

Useful liability coverage terminology LimitCoverage description 50/ $50,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person 100/ $100,000 in bodily injury coverage per incident 50 $50,000 in property damage liability per incident

Texas law requires you to have at least $30,000 of coverage for injuries per person, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for property damage. This is called 30/60/25 coverage.

More than two vehicles, fill out additional accident reports. If you were in a collision without insurance but the other driver was at fault, you can likely recover a payout.
