Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Car Accident Insurance Responsibility

I was hit head-on by another--name removed-- who was found at fault. My medical bills will exceed $300K. I had another passenger in my car who also has medical bills of around the same amount. The other--name removed--only had a $25K policy. I have no health insurance. Who is responsible for these bills? Can I sue his insurance company for damages over the $25K cap? Can I sue him for excessive damages? If so, can he file bankruptcy on these bills, and be absolved of them that way? I don't know what my options are. I appreciate any help you can offer.

Re: Car Accident Insurance Responsibility

This sounds like it was a horrible accident, luckily you are still alive.

This is a very important issue that you need to speak to an attorney about. Unless the insurance company commits bad faith they will not be responsible for the excess bills. Call me and we will talk (954) 473-1500
