While it is possible they can go after your personal assets it is unlikely. Your insurance will cover you. Get your own attorney just to supervise the insurance company and insurance defense attorney to make sure you are protected.

I am really not planning on doing that but I am behind in my mortgage and could use some of it for debt purposes. Otherwise I would like to know if I can deposit it and hold onto it because I cannot meet the financial obligation to meet a deductible of $4,000

You can file a lawsuit for breach of contract or for declaratory relief against both Progressive and Dealer Protection Loyalty. I'd sue both because the GAP company may be right and Progressive may have undervalued what it should have paid.

I agree with Mr. Thorgaard, but you should also inquire, in a friendly way, as to what the injury issue is. Was she physically injured, and if so, what are the injuries, medical diagnoses and treatment, and at which medical offices? And why is the issue surfacing only after 2 years? And is there...

My little brother just got his license was already involved in a hit and run. The other driver took off before the cops were contacted and a report was never made because my brother panicked and he also left the scene of the accident. The damages are estimated to be around $2000.

[Re-posting due to typo in prior post] You need to clarify your inquiry regarding "took off before the cops were contacted". Someone called 911 and gave identifying info, and then both drivers fled? Or the police were never called? The drivers can ID each other, or not? If no one... View More

Insurance provider says my policy only pays my custodial care if I am physically in my facility. I can visit my family but they deduct for each day I am away which is 4 days per month. i.e. $1,200 per month.

This issue likely depends on the language of your insurance policy. First, ask the insurance co. to tell you which specific section of the policy applies. Then, to be certain of your rights, consult an elder law attorney.

Your post is not very clear. Apparently, your attorney hasn't responded to your communications. If you have the check, it's made out to you and your attorney, and your attorney endorsed it, there should be no problem with your depositing or cashing it.

If and when you actually get sued, notify the insurance carrier of the lawsuit; they are required to hire an attorney to represent you, and pay any resulting judgment (up to the policy limits).
