What is the name of your state? CA.
my girlfriend and i were severly rear ended by another driver. i decided to settle with the drivers insurance company, and she decided to stay with our lawyer and persue the case because the driver was working on the clock making a delivery for his work, therefore she caould be compensated a lot more than a 15/30 policy by going after the drivers employer (who was also the owner). my friend told me, that he recently researched the law a bit and discovered that my friend can settle with the insurance company as well for the other $15,000 and then turn right around and go after the owner. is this true? can you settle with 2 different parties for the same accident case? please let me know if this is true!
