Contact a local attorney and ask for a free consultation. Most attorneys will meet with you to review all of the issues and to share with you the best options. By meeting with an attorney, you will not be incurring a fee.

It is possible to carry your own underinsured motorist coverage, so a consultation with a local attorney is key. So sorry for your loss.

   You need to see an attorney now as the time to file a claim is limited. Call for an appointment.

My PRELIMINARY answer to your question(s) is for general purposes and based upon what little information you have conveyed. It is based on such limited information that the general answer should never be relied as a reason for your action or inaction. My response does NOT establish an attorney-client relationship and such may only be established by mutual agreement, and the signing of a written retainer agreement, which will generally require payment for our services, as this is what we do for a living and, just like you, we must get paid for our work.. . less

   Generally personal injury attorneys will provide you with a free consultation. Call someone for and appointment and ask the attorney what records you should bring to the meeting.
