If you have a police report from the incident, you can try to prove that it was the other guy's fault. However, if you simply exchanged insurance information, there's nothing stopping the other guy from changing his story, at which point it becomes a he said/she said argument, with the insurance companies trying to save their money. If you can't "prove" it was his fault, and you didn't involve the police at the time of the accident, you're kind of screwed. Take it as a very expensive lesson to always involve the authorities as an unbiased third party.
Bummer.
Have they denied it? What report said you stopped abruptly? The other driver? They almost always say that, usually to no avail. More facts of loss details and I can help you more. NO POLICE REPORT Was done company said they pay for damage, and now is not paying for the damage, i have insurance and my boyfriend was driving my vehicle with no driver license, can i pursue this
Yes. In a rear end accident, the liability is still there even if police are not called.
In New Jersey it is the driver who rear ended him who is at fault. However, that does not mean that the illegal unlicensed driver will not face deportation.
that does not matter, the person who rearended will be at fault
Control Denied ended in 2001.
The presumption is that if you were rear ended, the other driver is at fault. The brake lights not working is a mitigating factor, but the bulk of the blame still goes with the other driver. Insurance doesn't have any relation to fault. But it coculd get you a ticket.
any time you are rear ended, it is the other driver's fault, from an insurance standpoint. if you have comp and collision, your insurance company will get you a replacement vehicle. If you only have liabiliy, i am sorry to say, you get nothing.
Proably not, except of course you need to get insurance, luckily this one wasn't your fault
Call the police and/or the company that owns the vehicle
Joint liability means that at least two parties share liability in a lawsuit or legal dispute. Often, a jury decides what percentage of liability each defendant is responsible for. An example - An automobile is rear ended by a furniture delivery truck. The driver of the auto is injured and sues the furniture store AND the driver separately. A jury might find that more fault belonged to the driver since the truck was in good working condition. Therefore, this jury might decide that $100,000.00 should be awarded. They might decide that $80,000 of the damages are to be paid by the driver of the truck and $20,000 to the furniture store.
I was recently in an accident & had no insurance. The person that rear-ended me was 100% at fault, which he admitted at the scene, and his insurance company paid for my car (which was totalled) and my rental. At the end of the day, he was at fault.Her company did not insure your vehicle and owes you nothing. Never, never, never let anyone drive your vehicle if you don't have insurance on it (inlcuding yourself!) Above answer is probably wrong. If the other vehicle has liability insurance, which is required in most states, and is determined to be at fault, that person's insurance will cover the repairs or replacement of your vehicle.
