As little as they can get you to accept.
A good insurance settlement means that the recipient of the settlement receives a fair amount in compensation for the event or accident. An insurance adjuster or attorney may help in getting a good insurance settlement.
Unfortunately, because most accident insurance settlements are kept confidential, it is impossible to know the largest settlement amount awarded in history. Settlement amounts typically vary by how much insurance one has on their vehicle, and the amount of damage done to the car and passengers.
i=.5r/t, where r = rate, i = insurance, and t = time
The amount a person gets paid for an accident from the insurance company will depend on the injuries sustained.
No. I assume that you were in a car accident and that you had injuries. I assume that you had medical expenses that were not covered by insurance. I assume that you own a house and there is a lien on that house to pay the cost of the medical care. I assume that the insurance settlement took 2-3 years to settle. I assume that your settlement amount paid by the other driver's insurance policy was less than the cost of your medical care. There is no other "insurance" to rely upon to pay the cost of the medical are that was not covered by your insurance and that was not covered in full by the amount of money you received from the other driver's insurance company.
Usually if an accident is determined not to be the insured's fault, then their insurance rates will not rise as the insurance company did not lose any money from covering the driver involved in the accident. If the accident is determined as being inconclusive, the rates may rise some, to adjust for the amount of money the insurance company lost in the accident.
The insurance company will only pay the 'book' value of the vehicle as if it were in perfect condition unless damage prior to the accident was discovered and that damage will be deducted from the 'book value'.
no - your insurer is under no "obligation" to help you. Best bet is to pursue through small claims court. if damage is greater than small claims value - consult an attorney and negotiate a reasonable fee (usually a % of settlement amount and you owe nothing if you lose)
NO, They are not liable if their insured was not at fault or was not their insured regardless of whether a check had already been written or not. In fact should they have issued a settlement check and later determined they were not liable, The insurer can demand a refund of the settlement amount they issued.
If the other company only gave you the deductible amount, then probably not. But if both paid you the full amount, then you should turn the other company's check to yours. If the larger check came from the other driver's insurance, I'd return the check from your own insurance company - you're entitled to the deductible amount, if you're not at fault.
cannot imagine any situation where an insurance company would pay the entire amount without this title.......file for lost title with your state..
A premium is the amount of money you pay the auto/health insurance company monthly, quarterly, or biannually whether or not you get in an accident or go to the hospital. The higher your premium the lower your deductible, and the lower your premium the higher your deductible. A deductible is the amount of money after you get in a car accident or visit the hospital before your insurance company pays anything. After you have met your deductible the insurance company covers the rest of the expenses.
