I believe you should contact an attorney and forget negotiating with GEICO. They do not have your best interests in mind. Plus, your young daughter is still in need of medical. Get a lawyer. ASAP.

You need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Good luck to you. NOTE: This answer is made available by the out-of-state lawyer for educational purposes only.

I am not licensed in OK, but can offer you general advice. Contact a local attorney. Ask that attorney to take a fee only on the money that they recover for you above that you have already been offered. Your claim and your daughter's claims are worth well over the policy limits. If GEICO wants to risk an excess judgment against its insured- you should have an attorney ready to try the case. I hope your recovery goes well, and call a lawyer right away.
