Ok, this is the story. My sister was hit in a drunk driving accident a few days ago in Bakersfield California. My dad and I bought her a 1997 Volvo 850 turbo a few months ago and I just got done putting $3750 into it for maintenance, but what happened was that she came up here to visit and get some stuff out of storage and go back to San Clemente. During her trip she was nailed by a drunk driver and totaled her car and put her in the hospital with minor injuries. Thing is I have been supporting my sister though her alcohol issues herself and is working pay check to paycheck and I pretty much pay for her rent and living expencises and whatnot so she doesn't have or make much money. She had to get a rental car and go back to work and such. Problem is, the drunk driver totaled her car, and their insurance company is trying to quickly strong arm my sister into not getting a lawyer, which is the first thing I told her to do. The lady who hit her has a prior and is fully covered, and was arrested at the scene, but also damaged 2 other cars in the process. My question is, does anyone know an attorney in her area, and does anyone have any knowledge of what she can expect as far as insurance and legal issues? Not exactly car talk, but I thought I would ask it here.
