There are way too many variables missing from your inquiry to give you a proper opinion.
Perhaps the better question is whether the other driver had insurance at the time of the collision and the policy limits.
Also, did your fiancee have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on her own policy?
Given that the vast majority of drivers likely do not have the individual means to pay a judgment in excess of the available insurance coverage, many times the value of a claim is limited by the available insurance.
There is a possibility that the other driver -- based upon his prior accident being alcohol related -- may only have the minimum state limits.
We are available to discuss options if your fiancee would like to do so. Please contact my partner Rick Reverman @ 513-721-1200.
