Q: Driver that hit us insurance company is paying all but $500 of a $35000 claim and want us-not atfault to pay diff-Legal?
We have a range rover and only 2 places are certified to fix it which means only Land Rover will sell parts to them- we went where the other guys insurance told us to go and after 8 weeks of trying to get an authorization they are refusing to pay the entire thing. Leaving our car hostage over $500- we should not have to pay for an accident that is there fault. What do we do? Fix it and sue the driver? Sue the insurance company? They will as of now have our car 1/2 a year if they start next week. Seems wrong to have to pay anything to fix our car.
A: You can recover loss of use, which is how much it would take to rent a similar Land Rover from the date of the accident to the date repairs are complete
