Re: rights
Demand the insurance company hang tough and make them go to trial, but either way you risk a personal judgment against you for anything over your $30k policy limit. The other guy can do anything he wants, and doesn't have to take your policy limits. He will have to prove his damages to a jury, not easy.
Re: rights
You need your own personal attorney to evaluate this and see about getting it settled, seeing if insurance company did anything wrong, etc.
