if she doesn't have a lawyer, she should call asap for a local PI lawyer.
if that is the amount she clears, rather than what the ins co is paying, then it is probably b/c of all the bills that are paid before she gets pd.
She can see a 2nd lawyer for another opinion.

a car accident lawyer, referred to as a Personal Injury Attorney.
call one local, though.
if there is an injury, and you were not at fault, most of us would accept the case on a contingency fee. That means the lawyer will only take a percentage of what he/she gets.

initially i would think you would want to talk to a LOCAL Personal Injury Lawyer.
a far as suing CHP, that is always an uphill battle.

a lawyer would need to know the circumstances to tell you what might happen.
the sentence could be different in different courtrooms; different DA and different courthouses.
of course if you had a record or prior it would be more serious.

first, call the police.

is this just a co like ADT?
write them to explain the issue and give them X days to respond or you will pursue any and all remedies at your disposal.
if damages are less than $10k consider small claims as you get to court right away.........
or Consult with a LOCAL lawyer for guidance.

sure sounds criminal on what you have provided and depending on the amount it could be a felony.
The charge is over 20 years old.

if you were not arrested and no case was filed, then there is nothing to Dismiss under 1382.
people in your position have to go to the governor and you don't want to waste your money doing that.
