Drunk Driving accident. My sister needs a lawyer

Also make sure you keep all the records and reciepts for anything done to the car. They have to add any recent work to the cost of the car. They may tell you different, but the adjusters will out and out lie.

This is common belief......adjusters will lie that is. But basically most policys read the the vehicle is supposed to be good working condition and if it takes recent maintenance for it to be in this condition then we are not obligated to add any value to the car. There is room for additions to the settlement price if the engine, trans, or rear end have been replaced.......but these are usually the only concessions made.

Well this is true but my sister is scared that she's going to lose out over this thing that was not her fault. She get's hit and injured by a drunk driver and their insurance company is going to cover next to nothing. That's certainly not going to fly with me at all. Ill pay for a lawsuit for my sister just despite what the insurance company thinks it's going to do, which is screw someone else.
