Expert Advice When You Need It Most
What procedure must be taken to acquire insurance coverage from a drivers insurance co. if I was injured and they admitted faultI was in a car accident almost a year ago and the other driver was at fault 100%. They admitted this at the time and the insurance co has stated this. I have a lingering back injury that has not gone away and I am still getting treatment. I have contacted the insurance co. for the insured persons coverage amount and was told that the insured person in question did not want to release that information to me. How do I go about acquiring that information without a lawyer. What information do they have to disclose to me if any in regards to the insured persons policy? Attorney answers (4)

Each State appears to have different rules relating to this issue. In California, for example, many insurance companies will take the position that they cannot tell you (unless their client approves of the release of the information). If litigation is not pending - and the insured driver does not have an attorney, there is nothing that precludes you from calling that driver and asking him or her directly. Unfortunately, that person does not have to answer and it may require litigation to obtain the answer to this question. Good luck!

It looks like you are going to have to file a lawsuit to collect for your injuries. You can ask the defendant in discovery for this information and they are required to provide it.
