A: If that is their policy limits, it is probably reasonable. However, before you accept policy limits you need permission from your own insurance company to accept. Otherwise, you will not have access to your underinsured motorist policy. If you have an Oregon policy, you likely have underinsured motorist coverage.

A: You need to immediately contact and consult with accident/injury lawyer who practices in Oregon. The majority of those hose attorneys who handle personal injury/accident claims will provide a free initial consultation so please take us up on it. Good luck.
