Case was re an rta. Problems have just now arisen as to which insurance company are liable. If as seems the driver was not insured are the rental company liable. Driver was speeding and drove through a red light.

Well, there's not enough info for anyone to say for sure, but once litigation ensues, the wheels of justice don't turn very fast. It's not like on television when the case gets filed and the trial is the next day. The only one who can really answer your question is your attorney.

I know absolutely nothing about Florida Law, but if it is anything like English Law (which is an, I was going to use the English word for donkey but this site won't let me) it will be to do with the amount of money the lawyers will be making whilst dragging the case out as long as possible. Nobody will win except the lawyers. It seems to me that the rental company are liable as they should have checked the hirer's license and insurance certificate before letting him hire the car. If they did not do these simple checks then they are at fault in hiring a car to an uninsured driver.

If it was a rental vehicle, it was insured by the rental company.
When significant amounts of $$$ are involved, it's not unusual for it to drag out through the courts for years. It's a common ploy to grind you down so that you'll take 10 cents on the dollar just to put it behind you.
Hang tough!
P.S. The poster who asked, an RTA is a Road Traffic Accident.

Without the full facts of the case,i and nobody would comment correctly, but the main aim of most lawyers is to get more money without much thought to the claimer.
