If you've been involved in an accident and you have insurance, your insurance company requires you to cooperate with them and provide them information. Part of that may be, if you have a limited amount of insurance, and you are being sued for a large amount of money and your insurance company wants to tender the policy or pay the full amount that you are covered with, the other attorney, the plaintiff's attorney, the victim may request that you sign an affidavit that you have no excess or other insurance company to pay above the amount of your original policy. So, if you are involved in an accident, you need to consult with your insurance company and, more importantly, cooperate with the insurance company's lawyer. You also have a right to your own separate, private lawyer, if your insurance company is giving you problems, or if you are being sued above the amount of the policy. It is best to consult with a private lawyer to protect your assets and your rights. Thank you. This is Jay Lutzky.
