Can you sue the party who caused the accident personally, if his insurance company did not pay you enough?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Lapin (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Lapin Law Offices
Generally, if you cannot settle with the other vehicle's insurance company then you sue the driver, not the insurance company. There are very few situations in these types of cases in which you can actual sue the insurance company itself. The insurance company will hire an attorney to defend the driver and will pay, up to its limits, if you go to trial and obtain a verdict against the driver. Besides the driver you might also, depending on the circumstances, be able to sue other people or entities such as the owner of the vehicle or the driver's employer if the driver was working at the time. So to answer your Question, yes you can "sue the party who caused the accident personally if his insurance company" will not offer you enough money.

What’s the next option I can use if my aunt won’t let me use her insurance?

Answered by attorney William R. Rawlings (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at William R. Rawlings & Associates, LLC
There is a saying in the Insurance Industry. "Insurance runs with the vehicle involved in the accident." If your aunt was not at fault for the accident, then you can make a claim against the responsible party. If the responsible party does not have insurance, then your ONLY recourse is to make an uninsured motorist claim under her policy. However, if your aunt WAS at fault, your only hope for a claim is with your Aunt's policy. She should check with her agent to see if this claim would be considered a "non chargeable accident" , which would not affect her rates. Note, though, all insurance policies are different.

Does a Lawyer on notice of lien on settlement in a civil case have to communicate with the lien holder?

Irving M. Blank
Answered by attorney Irving M. Blank (Unclaimed Profile)

Yes the lawyer does and you have to wait until a Court says you do not have to wait any longer. I am certain your lawyer wants to get an answer as much as you do. He can file for a hearing in court to determine amount and validity of the lien, but that will probably cause more delay.
