Questions & Answers

I injured somebody in an accident. The insurance company refused to settle within my policy limits. The jury awarded damages in excess of my policy limits. Must I pay the excess instead of the insurance company?

If your insurance company failed to settle the claim within your policy limits when the other side would have agreed to settle, you are liable for the excess verdict. However, your insurance company's action may have arisen to "bad faith". IF the insurance company acts in "bad faith" then the insurance company ultimately could be responsible for paying the excess judgment/verdict.

What To Do Right After An Accident?

Having an accident can be a very stressful situation whether you are injured or not. However, there are a few things you can do right after an accident to make the ordeal a little less stressful. First, at the scene get as much information as you can about the other party. Get the driver’s name, address, phone number and license plate number. If there are any witnesses that saw the accident and come to check on you, get the witness’s name, address and phone number. Many times witnesses leave before the police arrive. However, if you have this information you can give it to the police officer and she/he can follow-up with the witness if there is a dispute as to what happened in the accident.
