How Progressive Protects You When the Other Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance

If you drive in Texas, there’s one nightmare scenario that happens far too often: you’re hit by another driver—and they have no insurance.

In today’s episode of Texas Auto Insurance Truth, host [Your Name] breaks down how Progressive’s Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM) can literally save your financial life when the other driver can’t pay. You’ll hear a true-to-life story of a Texas family blindsided by a hit-and-run accident—and how the right coverage made all the difference between total ruin and total relief.

Here’s the harsh reality: 1 in 8 Texas drivers is uninsured, according to the Insurance Research Council. That means every time you pull onto I-45, I-10, or even your neighborhood street, there’s a good chance the person next to you doesn’t have a valid policy.

So what happens when that uninsured driver hits you?

Without UM/UIM coverage, you could be stuck paying for repairs, medical bills, and lost wages—even though the accident wasn’t your fault. But with Progressive’s built-in protection, you can relax knowing your policy steps in where the other driver’s should have.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The real numbers behind Texas uninsured drivers and why minimum liability isn’t enough.
• A story that illustrates how quickly a simple fender-bender can become a financial disaster.
• Why Texas law allows you to reject UM/UIM coverage—but why that’s a massive mistake.
• How Progressive’s claims process works when the other driver can’t pay (and why it’s faster than most competitors).
• The difference between “Uninsured” and “Underinsured” coverage—and which one you’re more likely to need.
• Why this small addition to your policy could protect tens of thousands in damages and hospital bills.

And here’s the truth: having “full coverage” doesn’t always mean you’re protected. Most drivers don’t realize their “full coverage” may exclude UM/UIM unless they explicitly add it. That’s why today’s episode is more than a lesson—it’s a wake-up call for every Texas driver who thinks they’re covered.
