Advise needed- car accident in Bavaria

11 years ago

Hello,
My husband was recently in a car accident in Schweinfurt and I was wondering if anyone could give any advise to make sure we dont get screwed by the insurance company. It was the other persons fault and we are civilians here, not military. Its been 3 weeks since the accident and he has back injuries that have had him out of work due to pain. the insurance company has salvaged our car and we should get the money soon. The problem I have is that we are planning to move back to the US in one month. It looks like his back will not be fixed in one month so how should we make sure our bills from the US are payed for by the german insurance company? We were appointed a lawyer and she said to hand in any bills and she will see if she can get money back- but that isnt good enough for us- he has back injuries because of this accident and we dont want to have to pay for him to recover out of our pocket. Any advise on what we should do and or say to this lawyer/insurance company?
