What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
My fiance and I were in a car accident 6 months ago. When we were turning at a light, another car struck us on the passenger side. He was driving. I was hurt and he was not. When we found out that I was going to need surgery on my leg, we hired a lawyer. I just received a call from my lawyer wanting to know if I wanted to shut down the case since we have received the money from the other person's insurance or if I wanted to continue and get the other half from my fiances insurance. Here is my problem, Florida is a no fault state. So the suit would have his name on it even though his insurance company would pick up the tab. What are the long term affects? Will it show up on his credit report, background checks and such? I do not believe it will go to trial, so I am really trying to find out how it will affect him.
