Q: I was in a mva settled with my ins co /parties ins co. 3 yrs later and I’m disabled with chronic pain
What recourse do I have ? They said I couldn’t sue her? I thought we go after her insurance company ?
A: That is what liability insurance companies are in business for: protect insured parties from liability for their negligent acts. It did that when it paid you a settlement. In return, you, no doubt, released the insured from liability for the accident. And the insurance company didn't itself do anything wrong for which you can expect further compensation. The release means, no, you can't sue again.

A: Although your motor vehicle accident case was settled, you might have options in terms of a disability claim. You could reach out to attorneys to discuss. Good luck
