This is a significant case affecting the future of your son and his girl friend for decades to come. You should provide all the automobile policies within your household if your son resides with you. You should also inquire as to all the policies in his girl friend's household. Ultimately, the question is how many of these policies you may be able to stack up, inclusive of applicable underinsurance coverage, to help obtain a fair settlement for your son and possibly his girl friend. Depending on the available and applicable insurance company liability policies, I may be able to reduce the attorneys' fees on your case so your son is not left in the cold. You may contact me to further discuss.

This is a horrible situation and you and your family should consult with an attorney before proceeding as the insurance companies are shrewd. The factors to consider in valuing each case, individually, are the person's age and injuries, lifestyle, all of the applicable insurance policies, any assets of the liable party and the venue where the case will be filed. Time is of the essence. I hope your son and his girlfriend are both getting the medical treatment necessary at this moment. I would be happy to provide you with an absolutely FREE consultation. Please feel free to email me your contact information if you would like to discuss your family's options. My email is [email protected].

All the best,

Michael Krigsfeld, Esq.

No experienced attorney can put a price tag on this matter now as there are too many variables involved. It certainly sounds significant.
