Hit in Ohio by an uninsured motorist in a rental car.
Question Details: I was hit by an uninsured driver who was driving a rental car. My insurance has paid off my truck as I have full coverage. Went to open bodily injury claim and my insurance told me that rental car company is going to handle my claim. Rental car company is offering about 1/2 what I believe the claim is worth. They offer just enough to cover wages and med bills with no pain and suffering. What is their limit of responsibility, should I get a lawyer and can I force my insurance to pay the claim?
