Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
I was in an auto accident in September 2009 and was hit by the other driver on the passage side of my SUV. She has since claimed an injury to her waist whereas my two daugthers (seated on the passager side) and myself are making no such claims. My insurance company(Infinity Insurance) has stated that I was found "Principally at Fault" according to California Insurance Code 2632.13 (e).
She has hired Marchiondo and Associates with a suit of $15,000 initially;now its' $5,923.93 with the law office of Richarson and Fair. The last contact made to me from my former Insurance company was in December 2009. I don't believe that she is the principle police holder with AAA . I feel that I should be able to challage her claim of injury ;the doctors' report-Steven K. Lee,D.C w/ Beach Imaging Center and also the final decision of my former insurance company.
Thank You and God Bless

Tender the lawsuit for defense and indemnity to your insurance carrier at the time. Don't aggravate yourself over it.
Let you insurance carrier take care of it If you were at fault and she was injured then she is entitled to make a claim against your policy.Believe me if the carrier did not think that her complaints were legitimate there would be no offer on the table.
