<h2 id=\"accident-title\">A Rear End Accident in the Rain <span class=\"accent\">With a Driver Who Admitted It<\/span><\/h2>\n            <p>It was about 8 on a weekday morning in 2023. The road was wet, rain was falling, and traffic on northbound <span class=\"nb\">I-35E<\/span>, the Stemmons Freeway, was moving under a 60 mph limit. Our client was in the right lane when a third car came up behind her. It struck the back and left rear corner of her sedan and then the side of another car in the lane beside her. Her rear bumper was torn off, her left rear corner was crushed and the sedan was towed. The Dallas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office investigated, and the deputy&rsquo;s narrative records what the drivers said.<\/p>\n            <figure class=\"rq\">\n              <blockquote>Driver of unit 1 stated that she was traveling in her lane when unit 3 was driving fast and tried to avoid hitting her vehicle but struck her vehicle from behind. [&hellip;] Driver of unit 3 stated that he was distracted by unit 2 and he could not slow down in time and struck unit 1. I believe the driver of unit 3 was traveling at an unsafe speed and was not paying attention to the roadway.<\/blockquote>\n              <figcaption>Narrative of the Dallas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputy &middot; <a class=\"lnk\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/dallas-i35e-oak-lawn-crash-report-redacted.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open the deputy&rsquo;s redacted report (PDF)<\/a><\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n            <p>The report lists the third driver&rsquo;s factors as &ldquo;Unsafe Speed&rdquo; and &ldquo;Driver Inattention&rdquo; and shows no proof of insurance for his car. It also lists a charge against him of &ldquo;No Insurance.&rdquo; Fault was not in question. The report coded our client&rsquo;s injury as &ldquo;C,&rdquo; a possible injury, and she was not transported from the scene.

When the driver who caused an accident has no liability insurance, there is no insurance company to pay the claim, and suing him personally can only recover what he actually owns.<\/p>\n            <p>Texas requires liability coverage, and the required amounts are low even when a driver carries it. Our guides on <a class=\"lnk\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/hit-by-uninsured-driver-texas-who-pays\/\">who covers the bills after an uninsured driver causes a crash<\/a> and <a class=\"lnk\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/texas-minimum-car-insurance-requirements\/\">the state&rsquo;s minimum coverage<\/a> lay out both questions.

Ins. Code &sect; 1952.101(b)<\/a>, an insurer may not issue an auto liability policy in Texas &ldquo;unless the insurer provides uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage in the policy or supplemental to the policy.&rdquo; Subsection (c) lets any named insured turn the coverage down, but only in writing. That is why her own uninsured motorist claim was the first thing we looked at.<\/p>\n            <p>Personal injury protection follows the same rule. Section 1952.152(a) requires it, and (b) says the rule does not apply &ldquo;if any insured named in the insurance policy rejects the coverage in writing.&rdquo; Under &sect; 1952.151, PIP pays &ldquo;all reasonable expenses&rdquo; from an accident, including necessary medical and hospital services and &ldquo;replacement of income lost as the result of the accident.&rdquo;<\/p>\n            <p>Our <a class=\"lnk\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/pip-insurance-texas\/\">PIP guide<\/a> explains that PIP pays whoever caused the crash, with $2,500 per person as the minimum.

When nobody remembers declining PIP or UM, we have the insurer show us the signed form, since a rejection only counts in writing.<\/p>\n            <h3>Set the terms in writing<\/h3>\n            <p>Our fee agreement spells out the percentage, which case costs may be charged and how any liens will be handled, and the client has all of it in writing before signing.<\/p>\n            <h3>Explain each step<\/h3>\n            <p>Each demand is shared with the client as it goes out, along with the figure it asks for.
