Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads see more than their fair share of motor vehicle crashes. On average, there’s at least one reportable crash every minute in the state. With long highways, fast speed limits, and mixed traffic conditions, collisions can happen at any time—and often leave lasting effects on those involved.
Beyond the collision itself, many victims face a frustrating claims process. Here are some common insurance issues that follow after a crash:
- Delays in Claim Processing: Some insurers take weeks or even months to evaluate a claim. During that time, injured victims may be left without a working vehicle or funds to cover their medical bills.
- Low Settlement Offers: Insurance adjusters often offer a quick payout that falls far short of covering the true cost of medical treatment, property damage, and lost wages. Victims are sometimes pressured to accept early offers before they know the full extent of their injuries.
- Disputes Over Fault: Even in seemingly straightforward cases, insurers may argue liability or try to shift blame onto the injured driver. These tactics are used to reduce their financial responsibility.
- Medical Documentation Challenges: If paperwork isn’t filed properly or care is delayed, insurers may argue that injuries are unrelated to the crash. This can lead to denied or reduced claims.
- Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers: If the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough coverage—or none at all—it can put added strain on victims. In these situations, making a claim through your own policy becomes essential.
