I was in an accident on Monday evening where the other driver ran a red light and t-boned my car totaling it and causing me multiple bodily injuries (and I’m 38 weeks pregnant). She was issued a citation for running the red light. I have hired an attorney since I have no comp/collision coverage on my policy so I have to pursue her insurance company on my own. After one call with them they were already trying to claim that she was not at fault even though she was issued the citation and I have an eyewitness who gave a statement to the officers that she did run the red light. She is insured with a company called The Co-Operators out of Canada.

Does anyone have any experience with this company or trying to seek money from an insurance company in another country? I’m also wondering what are the standard limits on coverage in Canada? I’m just so worried about not having a vehicle now that my baby is due in one week and I have yet to hear from them about a rental car being provided.

I’m a year and a half into settling a auto accident claim. Someone suggested I should change attorneys. This attorney has filed some documents that we are heading to court, (40% to him now). He has set up all the medical care, like $10,000 worth, that I have received. Is changing attorneys an option, if so what are the pros and cons. I like him fine, barely know him, wouldn’t know the difference, never had a claim before. I need to continue my medical care and that is on hold until it’s settled.
Thanks you’ll. I have not been fronted money. Actually, I am not even being reimbursed for prescription refills for a year. I’d say $200 worth. I hear I am in charge, but also realize he’s the expert, I know nothing but I was hurt and my new normal is different. I deserve compensation for the damage to my body. I had no health care insurance, no PIP, so he got care fronted. Based on his name recognition, and boards he serves on, he’s a big dog attorney, in a good size city in Texas. Switching was mentioned because of the time involved: 1.5 years. Thanks for your info and I’ll wait this out. I was told by a staff member early on that patience on my part would be beneficial so I’ve never done much more than follow his lead.
