Typically, they will handle the defense of the case, even hiring and paying for a lawyer to defend you. I hope this is... Read more »

A Utah attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney for state-specific law, the short answer in most places is that it's up to the carrier. For minor or moderate damages, they could go by estimates of a body... Read more »

You should talk to a personal injury attorney in California. If you go to the "find a lawyer" section of Justia, you should be able to find someone in your area.

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.
absent a... Read more »
My insurance company had already found me 100% liable without the chp report being released
What type of lawyer handles this type of case?

Its not clear what you are asking. Your insurance company has a duty to defend (retain a lawyer on your behalf) and indemnify you (pay any settlement or judgment up to the policy limit). If your insurance company is disputing coverage, you need an attorney who specializes in handling insurance... Read more »

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. To receive the lump sum payment, chances are fairly good that the insurance company had you sign a release. If that was the case, the release would have served to let the company off the hook for all further... Read more »

Your question lacks important information like what is the cost to repair your car and how much, if any, has the damage to your car depreciated its value even after it is repaired.
There is no way to judge the settlement offer without knowing this information.
