Asked over 3 years ago - Everett, WA
FlagI was in an accident where the other driver was at fault. She was driving her boyfriends car and didn't have insurance. My UIM was covering it until they found that the boyfriend did have car insurance. Everything was transferred to his insurance company. Now His insurance company is saying that they have evidence that the driver didn't have permission to drive the car. Isn't he still liable? The accident was in Feb 07, so we are getting close to the end of the 3 year limit. The boyfriend's insurance settled on my daughters claim, but not on mine or the other passengers. Should I contact my insurance, keep dealing with the boyfriend's insurance or hire an attorney?
The fact that the other insurance settled your daughter's claim, but is disputing your claim, is nonsense and is a delay tactic by the insurance company. To protect your rights, especially in light of the near-approaching statute of limitations, you should get a free consultation with an attorney immediately!
The prior two answers are correct. You need to hire an attorney very very soon. Do not delay at all. Most lawyers will be wary of taking a case so close to the expiration of the statute of limitations becuase of the problems that doing so can create.
You should speak to some attorney as soon as possible and pick one you like and go with them.
