- Q. Settlement delay after automobile accident case in California.
- A: Yes, its normal. The chance that another another will want to take over now is almost 0%, unless you want to pay an hourly fee, which would almost certainly be prohibitively expensive. There are no steps you can take. This is in the hands of the companies asserting the liens and medical billing issues, particularly if it involves Medi-Cal or Medicare. Those can take months to resolve.
- Q. Car accident with minor damage and large injury claim
- A: There is nothing to do now except allow your insurer to handle the claim. Attempts to transfer assets into other names will be deemed fraudulent. Further, based upon your description, such efforts are completely unnecessary. The amount for which a case settles compared to the original settlement demand is a massive differential. So, the fact that someone demanded $250,000 means nothing. Your insurer has an obligation to provide an attorney for you. Your only power now is to demand, in writing, that the insurer resolve all claims against you within your policy limits. If that cannot be done, for some reason, you can speak with a bankruptcy attorney.
- Q. Can't verify insurance carrier's license and getting no response. What to do?
- A: You can hire an attorney to help resolve your dispute with the security guard company, or file a complaint with the superior court over what ever your dispute is with the security company. If an an adjuster for an unlicensed insurer or adjusting company is engaged in attempting to investigate or resolve your claim, that would be, at best, a side issue. File a complaint with the insurance commissioner if there is unlicensed adjusting. The insurance commissioner may bar the company from further conduct in CA. The insurance commissioner won't do anything to help resolve your disputed with the security guard company.
