- Q. When dealing with underinsured motorist how do I get my policy to pay. My coverage is the same as at fault party

For example, if you live with a family member who have separate insurance policy, their policy will cover you.
The experienced personal injury attorney will be able to do a research and find out if there are any additional policies that could be applicable.
