My sister-in-law got a car accident recently and the claim against her
is around $70k besides her insurnace coverage, which put her into a
despert mode. Any advice is really appreciated.

The police report decide it was her fault, she has the stop sign, the
other car doesn't. In order to void her, the other car rolled over to
the side and smashed into wall. The driver got minor injuries, No
contact, she and her car are OK.

The other car's insurance already paid him, now file a claim to my
sister's insurance for over $80k, her insurance coverage is only $15k,
what a lesson !! We are expecting the other insurance company will sue
her soon.

I really appreciate if anyone could give this poor lady some
suggestions -

    (1). What kind of action she can do now rather than waiting?
    (2). Which is better, hire an attorney by ourselves? or use the
attorney from her insurance company?
                The attorney from her insurance company may save us a
lot of legal fee, but not sure if they can fully represent us because
her insurance has to pay that $15k anyway.
    (3). Any suggestion she can lower her payment down by negotiation?
    (4). Anyone could recommend a good attorney/mediator in TX? DFW is
preferred.


Thanks a lot !
