My husband was involved in a motorcycle accident caused by another driver resulting in multiple injuries and being airlifted to a hospital 2 hrs away. The party at fault's insurance will only pay the max policy of $50,000, but our medical bills alone are well over $70,000 and still rising. What are we to do to not get stuck paying the bills? Should we get a lawyer and pay lawyers fees on top of everything or do we just take the insurance offer?

You will likely be helped out by a lawyer. In some states lawyers may be able to guide you through some laws that help with cost containment on the amount a provider may charge for motor vehicle accident injuries. Their may also be public/government benefits which could be applied for or even the lawyer negotiate down the medical bills if all else fails.
Also, you may be eligible depending upon you motorcyle and any household polices and state alwe for underinsured motorist benefits. A lawyer can explain that and look into that as well as make sure that the other driver does not have any other insurance policies which may provide coverage for this accident. Most laywers will also not charge a fee on any monies that have been formally offered already in writing. Kristopher Shane Barber

You need to speak to an attorney about the insurance coverage involved before settling.
