How Car Insurance Works in Texas

At a fundamental level, car insurance is an agreement between a for-profit insurance company and the policyholder(s). Policyholders may be an individual, a group of individuals of a particular class (e.g., a family), occupants of a vehicle, or a company.

When an insurance policy is taken out, the policyholder makes regular payments, known as premiums, to the insurer. In return, the insurance company agrees to cover the costs of damages associated with an accident, but only agrees to pay in accordance with the limits established by the insurance policy.

An insurance policy can include first-party insurance, which covers property damage or bodily injury suffered by the person(s) named on the policy. It also includes third-party insurance, which is insurance purchased by a person or company to protect them against liability for property damage or bodily harm they (or someone on their behalf) cause.

Alternative To Settlements In Texas Personal Injury Claims

Drivers who have filed a claim with their insurance provider will likely get a settlement offer by the insurance company. This settlement offer may be far less than what the injured party needs to recover. However, the terms of the offer are designed to make it seem like the driver is getting a good deal.

Many injured parties take the settlement offer because they are desperate and need the money immediately. Many of them only realize months later how little they received in light of the true extent.  In addition, the nature of their injuries.

If you have been injured in an auto accident, you do not have to accept the settlement offer. You can hire a lawyer and, if in your best interests, you can file a personal injury claim. Through a personal injury claim in civil court, you have more flexibility.  Additionally, your attorney has more tools to negotiate a settlement in your favor.  Or, opt to go to trial to get you the best possible settlement.
