Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

I was rear-ended and injured by an uninsured driver in March 2015, The other driver was ticketed for the accident. The driver was driving his personal car while working for a business that is mobile, he even had a sign on his car promoting that brands name and service (I have photo's), this brand is a national franchise company and there are over 400 locations according to their website.

My current lawyer is only willing to seek compensation from my personal $25k UIM instead of pursuing the company of the at-fault driver who was working/driving at the time of accident. I am concerned that I may be settling for a low closure due to an attempt to have an easier or faster resolve for my attorney.

This accident happened in Tampa, Fl., I am currently still getting treatment through a chiropractor for persistent lower back pains, my repairs to my vehicle were never fixed and in frustration I traded this vehicle due to damage so I have already experienced a loss of value.

I am considering a different option at this point, but looking to see if things are as they should be or if I am correct in my assumptions.

Thank you kindly

You may have a claim against the company. I would need to hear more facts about the case.

If the only insurance coverage is your UM coverage in the amount of $25,000 it may be reasonable to accept that, but again, I would need to hear more about the situation.
