How do I get the other person's car insurance company to cover all of my accident-related expenses?
"My car was totaled and I have medical bills from the accident. I'm trying to settle with the other driver's car insurance company, but they aren't giving me a straight answer.
I want to know if they'll cover all of my acciden- related costs, and they keep telling me that they'll pay up to the limit. What do I do?"

“Every insurance policy has coverage limits. Since you were injured in an accident, the at-fault driver’s insurance company will pay up to the policy’s
bodily injury liability
limits. Depending on the limits, your medical costs may not be fully covered. If you have
underinsured motorist coverage
or medical payment coverage
on your own policy, this can help alleviate some of the costs. If you have health insurance, this should also help reduce your medical bills.Beyond this, you’ll either need to continue to settle with the other party’s insurance or pursue legal action against the other driver. You can also seek the advice of a lawyer to determine what the best course of action will be.
