Most auto accidents in Houston, Galveston and Texas City occur because someone was speeding, failed to yield, followed too closely or was driving under the influence. Texas law requires these drivers to carry basic liability coverage which means $20,000 per injured person, up to a total of $40,000 for everyone hurt and $15,000 for property damage. Sometimes basic liability is not enough and you might need some extra help.
