Can you get the money instead of car repairs in an insurance claim?

Sure, if you own the car. That means you do not make any payments to someone else. If you make payments, then you don't "own" the car outright, and the money will generally have to be used to pay for the repair or to pay the car off.

can i be sued for not letting a contractor do the job after a insurance settlement. there is no signed contract, but he said because he came out when the adjusters made their final evaluations of my home, but there was also another contractor present also?
If you filed an insurance claim on the claim that you would use the money to make repairs and then don't do the repairs, this could be considered fraud. If that was important to the insurance company, they would not have issued the check in your name only.
If you receive an insurance claim check made out to the body shop and you and you want to make your own repairs can the check be re-issued to you?
The insurance company issues the check in both names, because there is still money owed on the vehicle. In which case, you would not be allowed to make your own repairs.
What would happen if you kept your Homeowners insurance claim money instead of doing repairs Can you really get into legal trouble or is it money to you for your loss and you can do what you want?
If you still have a Mortgage, YES you can get into big trouble. Your mortgage contract requires that you make any repairs promptly. If your home is paid off and you have no finance lien then you are free to do what you want with the compensation you receive. Bare in mind that your Insurer will likely cancel your policy if you fail to make necessary repairs as you will be considered negligent by the insurer.
Can you take the insurance money and sell the property as is?

Can you keep house insurance money instead of fixing a damaged floor?
Its your $$$ now !!! you can do with it what you want. * If the home is not still under a mortgage contract the homeowner is not obligated to use insurance funds for repairs of the property. However, if repairs are not done the insurance provider can refuse any claim if the flooring or adjoining structure is damaged further. If the home is still mortgaged repairs must be made as the lender would have to sign the insurance check as well as the homeowner/borrower. All mortgage contracts stipulate that the property must be kept in the same or better condition as it was when the property was purchased and lending agreement made. You could BUT that would be called insurance fraud... Lis@

What! Insurance pays for financial losses.

Your insurance company paid you $1000 for it. Unless you claimed that as a casualty loss on your taxes, then it is income neutral- and would not be income.
