You can still pay for this out of pocket if you like (subject to any company policy or policy exclusions etc) When I have had claims such as these, if the insured wishes to pay of out pocket, and the claimant still reports the claim, will ask claimant if he cares if the insured pays? And why should he as long as he is put back in pre-accident condtion? You will have to promptly pay this, you can't just make payments to the guy (unless he agrees), and then after the claimant is satisfied, and made whole again, we close the claim without payment .........talk to your adjuster immediately and also you can't be argueing nickles and dimes here, (seen this happen too), in other words you can't say things like, 'my buddy can fix that car for 200 bucks instead of the 500 you have written to repair", you will also owe this person (should they repair) a rental while their vehicle is down, and any injuries of course.
