First off, it's not YOUR car at all ... it is owned by the lending agency as they hold the actual title. You are just the registered owner. You are financially responsible to repair the car to the owners satisfaction, or pay off the loan in full. The insurance company should have given the check to the collision repair facility - that is normally how things are done. Since you have cashed the check, and obviously have used the funds for other than what they were intended, you now have to finance the repairs to the car, regardless of the repossession.
In automobile insurance, collision coverage provides for repairing a vehicle when it is damaged due to the fault of the insured. Liability insurance provides for cost of repair of the OTHER vehicle if you damaged it.
If its comp and collision then it should be fully covered
Collision pays to have your car fixed if it is damaged in a collision with another vehicle. There is usually a deductible that you have to pay.
If you hit something else and had collision insurance, yes.
If your Motor Car policy covers First Party and your car gets damaged by a collision, the insurance co. will pay for that. Whereas when there is Third Party coverage in your policy and a third party's car gets damaged by your car, the third party's claim will be borne by the insurance co.
Yes you can as long as you have collision coverage and this will be considered an "at fault" accident.
If you have full coverage with Comprehensive and Collision then yes, you should be covered.
That should be covered by comprehensive insurance and the insurance company will pay for damages minus any deductable.
No, it would not cover damage of that nature. Garage Keepers insurance provides protection in case a vehicle is damaged by fire, theft, vandalism or collision.
Unless you have specialized insurance, it will not cover mechanical breakdown. If your transmission is damaged due to a collision, it is possible that it would be covered. If it simply failed you are probably not covered.
The starboard side was damaged in the collision.
No, that would be a collision, and would be covered under the collision portion of the policy, and the collision deductible would apply. Collisions are also considered a chargeable claim for rating and insurability purposes.
