Too many Texas drivers drive with no insurance. It is illegal to drive with no insurance, but for some reason, people choose to drive with no insurance. It puts those people and their family and friends at risk as well as every other driver on the road at risk.
There are way to protect yourself again uninsured drivers. Contact your automobile insurance agent and inquire whether or not you have uninsured/underinsured coverage and Personal injury protection (PIP).
Underinsured/uninsured coverage will protect you in the event your in an accident and injured when you were not at fault by a driver who either did not have insurance or did not have enough insurance.
Personal injury protection (PIP) is coverage in the event that you're in an accident and injured regardless of fault. You can purchase PIP coverage up to $2,500.00, $5,000.00 or $10,000.00. The PIP will cover 100% of your medical expenses and 80% of your lost wages up to whatever limit you purchased. http://www.injuryrelief.com/injury/6/18-wheeler-accident.htm
