No matter if your accident was caused by a drunk driver, driving while distracted, or other negligent behaviors, we will be there to ensure that the negligent driver pays for their reckless and dangerous acts. However, one thing that can complicate pursuing compensation is when a negligent driver is an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
Although the law requires that all Texas drivers have auto liability insurance, it is still true that one in five drivers in Texas don’t have any insurance. When drivers do not have car insurance, you (and additional insured drivers) are put at increased risk for failing to recover money for damages and medical bills after an accident. Without any adequate insurance coverage, there can be no expectation that an at-fault driver will be able to pay out the damages that are rightfully owed.
Frenkel & Frenkel is not an average law firm. Over their years in practice, the trial lawyers at the firm have achieved many high-value, multi-million dollar settlements and jury awards in the most complex personal injury cases. Our founding attorneys have each been listed in D Magazine among the Best Lawyers in Dallas & Fort Worth TX and as Top Attorneys by FW Magazine. They are each rated 10 (for “Superb”) by Avvo, a respected law firm rating service based on peer votes—not ad money.
Even if you’re the most responsible driver in the world, you won’t be protected from someone without car insurance or someone who only has the state minimum amount of coverage from crashing into your car. You should consider UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured) auto coverage. With UM/UIM coverage, you can recover damages even if the person who ran into you doesn’t have insurance or if their insurance limits are insufficient to cover your medical bills and damages.
As a team of experienced uninsured motorist accident attorneys in Dallas & Fort Worth TX, Frenkel & Frenkel understands the complications that can arise in an accident caused by an uninsured motorist. If an uninsured motorist causes an accident that results in injuries, hospital bills, repairs to your vehicle, lost wages, pain and suffering, and a reduced quality of life, you are entitled to fair compensation. The experienced car accident attorneys at Frenkel & Frenkel understand the harm that uninsured and underinsured motorists can cause and can take action to identify other sources of compensation, such as property, stock accounts, or other assets, when taking legal action to recoup your damages.
If you need a car accident attorney in Dallas & Fort Worth TX or elsewhere in the country, call Frenkel & Frenkel.

If you are hit by an uninsured driver in Dallas, you still have legal options to recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Frenkel & Frenkel can help you file a claim under your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, identify other assets belonging to the at-fault driver, and explore every available avenue to ensure you are not left bearing the financial burden of someone else’s negligence.
Despite Texas law requiring all drivers to carry auto liability insurance, approximately one in five drivers in Texas does not have any insurance coverage. This means that every time you get behind the wheel in Dallas, there is a significant chance that another driver on the road is uninsured, making UM/UIM coverage and experienced legal representation critically important.
Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage is an optional but highly recommended addition to your auto insurance policy that allows you to recover damages from your own insurer when the at-fault driver has no insurance. Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage similarly protects you when the at-fault driver’s policy limits are insufficient to cover your medical bills and other losses. Given that one in five Texas drivers is uninsured, carrying UM/UIM coverage provides an essential financial safety net.
Texas law requires drivers to carry a minimum of $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident in liability coverage. However, in serious accidents, medical bills alone can easily exceed $30,000, leaving injured victims with significant uncovered losses even when the at-fault driver technically has insurance. An experienced Dallas uninsured motorist attorney at Frenkel & Frenkel can help you pursue every available source of compensation when minimum coverage falls short.
Yes, you can pursue a civil lawsuit directly against an uninsured driver in Dallas to recover compensation for your injuries and damages.

In an uninsured motorist accident case in Dallas, you may be entitled to recover compensation for medical bills, hospital expenses, lost wages, future lost earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.

After being hit by an uninsured driver in Dallas, you should seek medical attention immediately and follow all treatment recommendations from your healthcare providers.
