Should I Get a Lawyer for an Auto Accident Claim?
I was in a car accident that was the fault of the other driver and he admitted it. Problem is that my daughter who is 18 but lives with her Dad, which has had custody of her, was with me and we were both taken to the hospital by ambulance. She bumped her head and my wrist was sore from holding on to the steering wheel at impact. Both air bags deployed. Car was totaled. I was not xrayed and told I would be a little sore. It has been 2 weeks and I still have trouble with my wrist & arm. I have no insurance and was told that my insurance will cover $1,000.00 for my injuries. My daughter gave the hospital her insurance card through her Dads insurance. I have received no bill from anyone on medical expenses and know that at some point his insurance company will want to go after someone. I need to get my arm looked at but am afraid that I am already going to exceed my $1000.00 limit since there was an ambulance involved. My Insurance said they are not big fans on lawyer-ing up but I wonder how complicated this could get since there is mine and my daughters insurance co. involved, not to mention that she is still complaining of headaches but they have not been able to determine why. This tells me that there has been some doctor visits also. What should be my plan here to safeguard myself from all of this. Any recommendations?

Can my 90 year old father be held responsible for an accident if he caused it?
My dad is 90 and has never had an accident. The doctor has 'suggested' he not drive but it's not an absolute if he may have a car accident, could 90 year old be sued and if the case was lost? Could all his assets be lost?
