Legal Question
Auto Accident
I was a passanger in an auto accident last year, where the driver of the car that I was in was found at fault and have been working with the driver's insurance (State Farm) to get my medical bills paid (over $6,000 so far) they paid the initial $5000 but now they have stopped paying and are offering me a settlement that is less that what is still owed on the bills (which now have a finance charge). Is there a way that I can get them to pay what is still outstanding and receive an amount for pain and suffering without having to hire a lawyer or would my car insurance cover the remaining amount under my underinsured coverage?

Re: Auto Accident
You should talk to an attorney. It sounds like the driver had medical payments coverage that paid the first $5,000 in bills. However, they are now handling this as a liability claim - which means they are not on your side anymore. You need to talk to an attorney to figure out what your case is worth.
