Admitted or standard insurers are regulated by the State while non-admitted (aka non-standard or Excess & Surplus Lines / E&S) insurers are not. Non-admitted therefore have a lot of freedom with rates and underwriting that the standard carriers don't have. Admitted insurers also participate in the State Guaranty Fund which pays claims when insurers become insolvent while non-admitted insurers do not. Those are the main differences.
A non admitted insurer is somettimes referred to as a surplus lines carrier.
Surplus Lines Insurance is insurance that is not written through the admitted market. The insurance companies that are approved to write Surplus Lines business are not considered "admitted" or "licensed" by the states. The insured is not covered by the state Guarantee fund which means that if a surplus lines insurer becomes insolvent; the insured has no recourse in the event of a claim.
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.
