Q: What will be my next step when I win my case? Will I have to file another claim with their insurance company?
I was in an accident as shown on the FR 10 form due to the at fault party making a right turn on red while I had the left protected green arrow. Since my insurance claim was denied I just decided to sue the at fault driver for the damages on my vehicle. Once I win in court, what is my next step as far as me getting my vehicle fixed? Will I have to file another claim through the at fault driver's insurance company?
A:
Note my responses to your other posting on the same issue. If you win you have a judgment in the amount of your repairs. You can then get the company to pay.
Note however if you have other expenses--rental car etc--they need to be included. If you were injured, you need to see an attorney. If you had medical bills paid you may need to include them if under your policy &/or SC law there is a subrogation lien.
