1. Well, you could apply directly to the court for a judicial summary of the contractual agreement. In other words, you approach the court to determine the legitamacy of your claim. It will cost less without an attorney; although, it may come to light that you have legal basis for obtaining legal counsel later on. What you would ask of the court is to review the contractual agreement entered into for insurance...provide proof of payment for said coverage; a copy of the accident report; affidavits signed by those involved directly in the mishap (if possible) attesting to the events that led to your need of filing a claim against your insurance policy... and ask the court to validate the strength of the contract by review and commentary. If the court finds that your contract is valid and your claim is within the parameters of the agreement, they could order prompt payment pending further legal actions as a civil action or possibly criminal action if their order is not honored...it is known as 'contempt of a court order' if duly issued and served to the company in question. Good luck to you in your 'pro se' endeavor... it may help you to attend some court sessions in order to prepare yourself to show proper form and decorum toward the judiciary factfinders. Court time is usually paid for in advance so be prepared to present all the materials in less than 12 - 15 minutes. It may require additional time to read a 'copy' of the insurance claim; however, that may or may not be charged for in lieu of the situation. Depends upon how the judge/s are compensated for their time. Also, make sure that if you do decide to follow with a formal legal action against the company that you speak with someone of authority (perhaps a college professor at a law school) as to which court to make application. This is often determined by the monetary amount in question. Since the value of the claim is not specified above, I cannot offer a suggestion as to which court to approach. It could feasibly be the Chancery court...ask around.
