If you do not agree with or wish to reject the companies settlement offer then it is time to attempt a renogotiation of your settlement. Remember that in Most jurisdictions the company is required to make an attempt to settle your claim within 60 days. They are not actually required to settle within 60 days, only to have made the offer. If you have reason to believe that the settlement offer was inadequate, you should clearly and calmly explain in detail how and why you have come to a different valuation of your claim. You will likely find the company receptive to your opinions and may get them to consider factors that they previously did not take into account or were not aware of when they made the first offer. Most Insurers with some few notable eceptions are eager to come to a fair settlement within the regulatory guidelines. After all, a 1,000 dollar good faith settlement with a satisfied claimant is worth more than 10,000 dollars in advertising. 1. If you reject the offer The company is now released from the regulatory time limit required to settle the claim. 2. Bare in mind also that the company only has to make an offer that is in line with the market or replacement value of the vehicle. Meaning the comparable value of the same or similar type vehicle. Sentimental value and extenuated values such as classic car value is not a factor in determining market value. Classic or Antique vehicle value should be covered on the Owners Policy with a classic auto rider attached to the owners policy.

Your car was getting repaired in a body shop when it was stolen it was found and totaled by the shops insurance company they are low balling the figure for my SUV what legal recourse do i have?

First of all as a matter of principal you should always reject the insurance companies opening offer. Write to them doing this and tell them you want a figure as far above the figure you will actually settle for (the fair amount) as their offer was below it. With any luck they will make you a new offer at around the fair price.

How much does sr22 insurance cost?

It costs the same amount as you pay every month for your car insurance. Sr22 Insurance is just "Auto insurance" . The SR22 is not insurance. It's a form that says to the government that you now have auto insurance. The Sr22 is the result of some serious ticket or violation you had in the past that the State is requiring to keep your license from suspension. When you buy your auto insurance you just tell them you need an sr22 certificate. If that company agrees, then they add it and issue you the SR22 certificate. It's not something separate, you get it with your car insurance. Some companies will do the SR22 for you, Others will just reject you because of the sr22 violation requirements as high risk. Just call around or check some webs and compare some some rates. Lots of companies will sell it to you.


Can an insurance company reject your claim if the car was running with keys in the ignition when the car was stolen?

Insurance companies seem to ask the same questions: Were the keys in the car when it was stolen? Did you ever get a duplicate set made? Do you have the key or keys in your posession? I'm pretty sure they do not ask this unless there is a reason. Here's another question along the saem line... Will an insurance carrier cover a car that was stolen with the key's locked in the car?
