Texas Hit-and-Run & Uninsured Motorist Lawyer
They drove off. You still have options.
When the driver who hit you vanishes, or has no insurance, your own policy may still pay. Insurers don’t always make that easy, even when it’s your own company. As a Texas hit-and-run lawyer, Bridgette Williams makes sure your coverage works the way you paid for it to.

Where the money can come from
Coverage that may pay after a hit-and-run or uninsured driver
We review every policy in your household — many people have more coverage than they realize.
Uninsured motorist (UM)
Coverage on your own policy for drivers with no insurance — and in many cases, hit-and-run drivers.
Underinsured motorist (UIM)
When the at-fault driver’s limits are too low to cover your losses.
Personal injury protection (PIP)
Medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, unless rejected in writing.
After a hit-and-run
Steps that protect your hit-and-run claim
Call police right away
A prompt police report is often important for an uninsured motorist claim.
Write down what you remember
Make, model, color, partial plate, direction of travel.
Look for cameras
Nearby businesses and doorbells may have footage — but it’s often deleted within days.
Notify your own insurer
Report the claim promptly, but talk to us before giving a recorded statement.
How common are uninsured drivers in Texas?
More common than most people think. A large share of Texas drivers carry no insurance, and many more carry only the state minimum of $30,000 per person, which a single ER visit and surgery can use up. That’s why your own coverage matters so much.
Hit-and-run claims in Texas: what you must prove
For an unknown hit-and-run driver, Texas policies generally require proof that the other vehicle actually made contact with you or your vehicle. A prompt police report, photos of the damage and any video or witnesses make that proof much stronger.
FAQ
Hit-and-run & uninsured motorist FAQs
Will a UM claim raise my rates?
Texas law limits when insurers can raise rates for claims where you weren’t at fault. We’ll walk you through your situation.
My own insurer is lowballing me. Is that allowed?
Your insurer can still dispute the value of your claim. That’s when having a lawyer on your side matters.
What if the driver is found later?
Then their insurance — if they have any — may also be available. We keep every option open.
