Legal Question
I was at fault in a car accident that caused almost $10,000 damage to the other guys car (hardly any to mine) and I only have $5,000 insurance coverage. I'm a 58 year old widow who has had a mental block when it comes to understanding insurance and I had no idea I was underinsured. My only source of income is SSDI and the only thing I own is my 1993 Jeep and a house with no equity. I'm just sick because I don't know how I'm going to pay this $5,000. Does the law allow any recourse for me and can you suggest how I might deal with this problem? Thank you.
