The person responsible for the accident has a personal injury policy limit of $20,000. A friend's medical bills are over that. She suffered a broken leg, arm, clavicle, 2 ribs and has had extensive PT. She also has permanent scars on her face. The insurance company is telling her that they can only give her the policy limits. She wanted to know if hiring a lawyer would be best before she actually did so because you know they have to take at least 30% of the settlement and if all she can get is policy limits, she doesn't want to go that route.
