What type of POA would my mother need to give me permission to speak with the other person’s insurance company after a car accident?
She has medical bills her vehicle was severely damaged and she is without a vehicle currently because they have not called her at all. She prefers I speak with them to resolve the claim but I need legal right to do so.

To assist your mother concerning the situation that you are writing about, you will need a general power of attorney dated and signed by your mother before a notary public giving you the specific power to act on her behalf concerning the auto accident that you are writing about. I would make specific reference to the auto accident with a date and location involving her.
I suggest that you have a general civil attorney prepare this power of attorney. Good luck.
