How do I get an insurance company to pay for the lost income caused when their client wrecked my truck?: I November a yard switcher hit one of our trucks causing a lot of damage to the front end. This was during our peak season and I was unable to secure a rental to replace it because none are available at that time. The insurance has refused to even consider my near 50,000 dollars in losses because that truck was not available. They said I should have asked them to help me get a rental, but all my calls and emails to them were never returned until after work on the truck was completed. I had to borrow money to fix the truck. They finally paid for the repair but that is all.
Peter’s answer: I agree with my colleagues who have posted replies here already. This is typical behavior for insurance companies. I recommend that you reach out to an attorney who focusses on car accidents and personal injury. You won't be charged a fee to talk it out with one of us to see if there is a way to force the insurance company to pay on your claim for lost income. I wish you the best of luck.
What can I do if a person spin out of control and Hit my can and now is claiming to their insurance that they didn’t hit me?: A man driving a truck in the opposite lane of traffic slipped on snow and tail end smack my drivers side front end. And I flew into a ditch. Now there is this big investigation on liability, but my damage clearly shows he hit me. Also, he told his insurance that he didn’t lose control or leave his lane.
Peter’s answer: Were you injured? If so you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Liability disputes are common reasons for injured people to seek the advise of an attorney who focusses their practice on car accidents and personal injury. I suggest that you do so. Most attorneys who practice in this area of the law do not charge for a phone call or a meeting to discuss the issues. We also have a lot of technical knowledge on how to present the strongest claim for damages with insurance companies. I wish you the best of luck.
How much do I settle for car accident injury?:
Someone hit my car while I was driving it’s their fault and her insurance will pay for my car to get fixed. I am fine but still getting anxiety while driving after the accident. They offering me $1800 to settle. Can someone tell me what to do or is $1800 is enough to settle?
Peter’s answer: There really is not enough information to answer the question. You should reach out to an attorney that focuses his or her practice on auto crashes and personal injury to discuss. The telephone call you make will not cost you anything, and you may get better clarity. Best of luck.
