Re: auto accident claim

You have a conflict in settling your son's claim. You too may be a party for driving in a negligent manner. Your son's claim is viable as stated. Your insurance will provide coverage under the liability section and the UIM section. See a lawyer immediately.

Re: auto accident claim

I suggest you retain a lawyer familiar with auto accident law. Your son should be making an uninsured motorist claim and/or a claim against you.
