Mesa, AZ asked in Insurance Bad Faith for Arizona

Q: Can I get help dealing with State Farm Auto Insurance over an inflated accident apprasal by Kaizen?

I scratched my car in a "my fault" parking accident. No injury only minor damage to both cars. Other car was fixed. State farm said my car was total loss. Then not totaled, then it was totaled again, Finally not totaled. I have my car. State Farm agreed to fix my car per an apprasal by Collision Works. Then said they would not because of the extent of repairs based on Kaizen inflated claim. State Farm said they have closed my claim. I need help dealing with State Farm. Do I have any recourse?

A: An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Attorneys may want to know what happened to make State Farm vacillate back and forth in its total loss declaration. Attorneys may also have questions about how scratching a car resulted in a total loss declaration. If you reached out to local attorneys, they could be in a better position to advise after seeing the PD file. Good luck
