Which brings up an important point.  This can happen to you
NOW!  My attorney has handled many cases where
innocent people were severely injured by uninsured drivers
and were unable to collect.  Their own Uninsured Motorist
coverage ("U" in Texas) only paid up to a limit of a few
tens of thousands.  These people had no recourse.

It is possible to get extended coverage that will cover
you up to a much larger limit, such as $1,000,000.  If
you don't have it (and most people don't) you should
see your agent pronto and get it.  It's not expensive.
