Sometimes and perhaps in the crash described below there isn’t enough insurance coverage to compensate each injured person sufficiently. For example if the policy limits of the negligent driver are $50,000 and the claims of the other three drivers and their passengers were $100,000 there wouldn’t be sufficient coverage to pay all claimants. At that point each injured person would look to their own insurance policies for underinsured motorist coverage. Suffice it say it’s complicated because you need the consent of each underinsurance carrier to settle with the negligent driver’s insurance company. Therefore there are multiple negotiations going on. You shouldn’t accept any offer without first speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney.
