Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Your Case
What is uninsured motorist coverage and do I have it? +
UM coverage pays for your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance or flees the scene. Texas insurers are required to offer UM coverage, but policyholders can waive it. CDF Law reviews your policy to determine available coverage.
Will filing a UM claim raise my insurance rates? +
Texas law restricts insurers from raising your rates solely because you filed a UM claim for an accident that was not your fault. Filing a UM claim is not the same as filing an at-fault claim.
What should I do immediately after a hit and run? +
Stay at the scene, call 911 immediately, note the direction the vehicle fled and any details (make, color, partial plate), get witness contact information, and photograph your vehicle damage and any debris. Contact CDF Law before speaking with your insurer.
