Girlfriend was in a Car accident, Lawyer question?
My gf was in a car accident few days ago .
The car bumper was hit by a guy who was driving without a license.
It wasn’t too bad. But the bumper must be replaced and the insurance company should pay for the medical bills .
My question is this. I have "never" been in such a situation before , there fore I have some questions… because she doesn’t seem to know what to do either . She made some mistakes. She already contacted a lawyer , which she thought was the right move.
But i don’t think it was needed because this just happened a few days ago ,Aren’t lawyers needed when things get out of hand or when – they refuse to pay?
In regards to payment.
2 questions –
1) How should I approach the other company (All State ) in regards to payment.
The car was insured under some other person. Isn’t the guy who drove the car while the accident occured still responsible to pay her? ( i am worried , if allstate is making her run around and finally say – oh, we are not responsible !, the guy who drove doesn’t have all states, SORRY! )Another thing – They were forcing her to go to their own shop to get an estimate for bumper repair, does she "have to"? She wants "honda" to fix it and therefore go there to get an estimate, which i think she did. How much of this does she have to comply with AllState.?
2)
In regards to medical bill , how does this work ? Isn’t the doctors bills, any medication , and physical therapy all covered by the other person? If so what if it’s an ongoing procedure like, a physical therapy session for 8 months . What is the procedure for this ? Should she just fax all the bills to All State or wait till everything’s over and then fax everything- Estimate ( for bumper) and Doctors bill to them?
