auto accident
I was hit from behind, have moderate whip lash injury. I'm told my case will likely settle for under $20,000. The at-fault driver has only minimum mandatory FL. insurance. So any settlement I get for medical beyond PIP will come from my uninsured motorists. I've been told that the insurance company will eventually go after the at-fault driver personally to recoup the settlement because he didn't have sufficient coverage. I'm concerned about this, as he appears to be poor. Don't want to create a hardship on him, or hurt his credit. Is this true that the insurance company will go after this guy? Any way to prevent that, short of not seeking a settlement at all?
Re: auto accident
Yes, if you can get your insurance company to waive subrogation. They do not have to but they may. Advising them that you would not be seeking compensation from the atfault driver would not make them more likely to waive subrogation though.
