Q: My vehicle was rear ended while I was stopped at a red light now the Insurance company does not want to pay for repairs?
My vehicle was rear ended while I was stopped at a red light now the Insurance company does not want to pay for the complete repairs to my vehicle. What are my options for getting them to pay for the complete repairs. The other party is at 100% at fault, have police report to prove as well. Can I sue the insurance company or the individual? Can the lawyer/legal fees also be part of the sue?
A:
First, if you have collision run it through that and let the insurance go after the guy. You say complete repairs--sounds like they think something is old damage. They don't have to fix old.
If you were hurt contact a member of the NJ Assn for Justice--they give consultations.
