Insurance Payouts For Accidents

Summary

Insurance companies generally do not pay twice for the same claim. However, in fatal car accidents, multiple payouts can occur, such as for wrongful death and liability. In Tennessee, law firms may hold funds in a trust account temporarily to address potential issues. If you have concerns about your attorneys actions, consider seeking advice from another legal professional.

Car insurance where a 15yr old was fatally injured in paris, tn
I'm sorry to hear about this tragic incident. In the case of a fatality in an auto accident, there can be multiple payouts from the same policy. For instance:
- Payout to the estate of the deceased for wrongful death.
- Payout for the policyholder's liability.
However, specifics are subject to the terms of the insurance contract and Tennessee state law.

I'm sorry for your loss. It seems there's a misunderstanding with the payout process. It's common for law firms to hold funds in their trust account for a certain period to clear any potential issues. However, if you feel uncomfortable, you may want to seek advice from another attorney.
