Is my state a no-fault state? in Texas
Whether your state runs no-fault or at-fault, what PIP pays if you have it, the minimum liability limits the other driver had to carry, and whether uninsured motorist cover must be offered to you.
- No-fault or at-fault
- At-fault. The driver responsible for the crash, through their liability insurance, pays for the harm they caused.
- Minimum liability limits
- $30,000 per injured person, $60,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage — often written 30/60/25.
- PIP / medical payments
- Personal injury protection is included in every Texas auto policy unless you rejected it in writing. It pays your and your passengers' medical bills, and unlike medical payments cover it also pays lost wages and other non-medical costs.
- Uninsured & underinsured motorist
- Insurance companies must offer you uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. It pays when the other driver had no insurance, did not have enough, or left the scene.
- Deadline to start treatment
- Not listed
