Drivers are required to purchase car accident insurance in every single state, including here in Texas. Be careful, as auto insurance carriers are all too well known for trying not to pay just and fair compensation to both their customers and the victims of their customer’s negligence. This is true even when their customers have made their insurance payments routinely for years. Face facts, how do auto insurance coverage carriers make their money? Put simply: They take your premium payments with love and face you claims with hate.

Carabin Shaw’s Odessa auto accident lawyers handle car accidents throughout metropolitan Odessa and in all parts of Ector County. In addition, we represent pedestrians, passengers and drivers who have suffered from an injury in a traffic accident in Odessa, Texas when another vehicle operator may have actually been at fault in the accident. The insurance company’s defense attorneys will try to prove fault by the injured person to lessen their award of damages. This “fault” is called comparative fault in Texas and this is one of the very important reasons why you really need an experienced Odessa auto accident lawyer.

It is required in Texas that if you drive you must have insurance. Despite this, some people do not have the legally required insurance.
