A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Insurance carriers are within their rights to ask what other drivers of the vehicle are in the household. In terms of asking simply about household members, you could check with your state's department of... View More

Use the Justia Find a Lawyer tab and search for consumer lawyer and/or a collection lawyer in your area---call a few them and discuss the specifics of your case with them and then decide how to proceed. Good luck.

There isn't enough information here to give a full answer. One critical fact would be what type of lawsuit this is. Based on the categories you've selected, I am presuming you are being sued for injuries stemming from a car accident for which you were at fault.

A Washington attorney could advise best, but you await a response for three weeks. This sounds like a difficult claim, and such situations do arise when going from one insurance carrier to another, and a new claim arises near the start of coverage. If you've been issued a denial, review it if... View More

A Washington attorney would be able to advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks.

Check with the insurance commissioner. If the wreck wasn't your fault, the other person should be paying.

You mention a widely recognized and well-liked workers' comp carrier and working graveyard shift. This looks like a WC case - you've posted in good categories but if you add Workers' Comp to your categories, hopefully one of the WC attorneys could pick up your question if this is... View More

It's handled by different divisions within the company normally. Happens all the time, but I understand what you are saying; it looks like a clear conflict.

Then of course if her carrier pays some of her medical bills, it can require compensation from the other driver's insurer;... View More

You can complain to the HR Department

Forget the formula. That's bogus. If you lost an eye would 3 x the medicals be enough? No way. If you had one ER but went in as trauma and the bill was 19,000 and no follow up after, do you think they'd pay 3x19?

If your crash is serious enough to consider uninsured, you should... View More

Nope.

RCW 46.30.020 "Liability insurance or other financial responsibility required—Violations—Exceptions: says:

"(1)(a) No person may OPERATE a motor vehicle" without mandatory minimum insurance (emphasis added).

No obligation on the passenger.
