More details to this question:
Hello, I was involved in a fatal car accident with a hit and run driver. After several years, I am finally close to receiving a settlement check. I am only 24 and now disabled for rest of my life. I suffered skull neck and spine injuries and underwent multiple surgeries. Is it possible to obtain money amounts beyond policy limits due to severity of injuries? Long term disability plan? Anything? I would appreciate advice on this. Thank you so much.

Need much more information to answer your questions. First of all, when did the accident occur, and do you have a lawyer? If the accident happened less than 3 years ago and you do NOT have a lawyer, you need to retain one immediately. It may be possible to obtain money beyond the policy limits but it can be complicated, depending upon who's being sued, and the limits. If a person is "underinsured" there is a mechanism for obtaining more money even if they have none. If you DO have a lawyer that person should be answering these questions.
