There could be a couple of reasons why the Auto Insurer is refusing to pay full amount of At Fault accident: a) There would be a deductible condition in the policy - which would mean that you will have to bear or pay the deductible amount out of your pocket. b) If this is the claim amount for the vehicle - it would be a part applied to depreciations of the vehicle. c) If the claim is above the total coverage (limit of Liability) the insurer might have paid his share up to this limit and so you would be responsible for the amount which is above this. Remember that the insurer would not refuse to pay you once he has admitted liability unless it is not payable as per the policy condition. Please go through the policy conditions and asked the insurer for his reasons of non-payment.

Normally you will have a no claims premium discount of up to 60%. when you have an at fault accident you lose part of this discount for the next renewsl, it may go down to 40%. If you have a not at fault accident you shouldn't lose your discount. However each insurer handles this differently sometimes - pay to check with you insurer

Auto accident other driver was not owner nor insurer of car?
I was recently involved in a car accident in which the driver of the other car is legally at fault. Is the other party's insurance still liable for damages involved if the at fault driver is: 1. not the owner of the car, 2. not the insurer of the car, 3. does not have a license. Thanks!
I have insurance and allowed a friend to drive my car and she had an accident who is at fault?
Your friend is. If she is over 25 she is normally covered. Because you claim on youe insurance, technically it will be an at fault accident and your premium may go up. You should talk to your insurer.
Can you save on your future premiums if you switch to a different insurer after a no fault accident?
Most companies don't raise rates based on a no fault accident when you are insured with them. So, if you are getting good driving discounts, they will probably remain. However, if you want to switch, the no fault accident might prevent you from getting the next company's best rates.
