I am familiar with this type of lawsuit as i defend many of them for people who dont have insurance. The statute of limitations is 3 years from the date the insurance company made the payment which can be many years after the accident.

Normally the Statute of Limitations is one year for personal injury.
More information is needed before I can provide any further information.

Their seem to be a great deal of insurance companies
filing suborgation claims against private individuals.
Another person had a similar problem and I am helping
them out for a nominal fee. What usually happens in
a situation like this the client has no idea that they
can fight the insurance company and so they end
up settling with the insuance company so that they
don't have to deal with a lawsuit. What I do is speak
with the client about their particular situation and then for
a nominal fee I right some nasty letters which usually work to
get the insurance company to go away. This way saves the client
alot of money and hassle since they don't have to deal with the insurance
company themselves. If you are interested in somehting like this
please feel free to contact me I would be happy to give you
a free consultation. My number is 805-546-9918.
I hope to hear from you soon.
