Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
My friend's son was involved in an accident. He was driving his mother's car and he was not covered
by her insurance, because he was not on her insurance at the time. He hit a PG and E power pole.
And lights went out in the surrounding area. She received a letter from PG and E that they must pay
$60,000 dollars. Is this legal, 3 years after the accident? Do you have any advice for her?
1 Answer from Attorneys
.Is your friend assuming that there is no insurance coverage or is that what the insurance company has told her? If the former, she should immediately tender the claim to the automobile insurance company and to her homeowner's insurance carrier. If the latter, she needs an attorney to a) deal with the insurance companies and b) deal with PG&E. She may have a host of defenses to the claims' PG&E might settle for alot less than it is demanding; and one or the other insurance policy may cover both the claim and pay for an attorney to deal with PG&E.
