As far as i know the not at fault Insurance decision will prevail over the the one at fault. Besides there are certain "rules" that all insurance companies goes by when they take a determination whether or not a car is totaled. If by any chance the insurance companies can't agree they go to an arbitrary service provided by state for insurance companies and they can come to a decision.
An insurance agency represents the insurance company. This is the decision of the client, not the agency or the company. This has no bearing on the fault of the accident...unless they have not inspected the vehcile yet...when in most cases the vehicle is stored at a facility.
No, if it is your fault you are not eligible to received diminished value from your insurance company. It has to be a third party claim, ie the party at fault's insurance company pays the damages if you can recover them.
If the at-fault driver is not responding to insurance inquiries, you should contact your own insurance company and provide them with all the necessary information about the accident. Your insurance company can then handle the situation and try to resolve the issue with the at-fault driver's insurance company.
This may result in a situation where each driver will need to file a claim with their own insurance company for the damage to there vehicle and then the two insurance companies may make a decision as to who was at fault at a later date. Sometimes fault is never determined.
yes. you can sue an at fault driver if his insurance company refuses to pay your claim. it would not be proper to sue the insurance company.
No.
When this happens, your Insurance company pays for damages. If the accident is your fault, your insurance rates can go up.
No-fault insurance generally refers to the individual working with their own insurance company, despite who may have been at fault for the accident. In Ontario, the Ontario Auto Insurance sells no-fault insurance.
You do not sue the insurance company. Any suit is filed against the at fault party only. The insurance company will defend their client and pay damages according to the terms of the policy.
The at-fault party's insurance should cover your vehicle. EVEN THOUGH OUR INSURANCE HAD RUN OUT BY AMONTH?
The decision of who is at fault in an accident is generally decided by the police officer who is investigating the scene. If you don't agree with his/her decision you can always speak with their supervisor at the police department and give our side but it is very rare that these decisions are overturned. You only other point of appeal would be to your insurance company. The insurance companies take the police report as well as statements from both parties and make their decision as to who is at fault.
