Re: pesonal injury
You can sue for any amount. If the tree cutter's liability limits were only $100,000 then that is all his insurance company would pay toward liability. The tree cutter may have other assets with which to satisfy a judgment beyond $100,000. In addition, if your husband had insurance on the motorcycle he was riding he should look to see if he had underinsured motorist coverage. Looks like you may be posting from MI. If so I can't speak to their laws.
