Q: I got into a car accident, the person who claimed liability lives out of state their insurance does not cover my cost
They already took my car and here it is almost 3 months later and they still have not sent payment over I'm having to pay for a rental out of pocket, and harassed to put this under my insurance when I'm not the one who took liability what can I do to get this going. They deemed my vehicle as a total loss
A: A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Your reluctance to handle this through your own insurance is understandable if the other side was at fault. However, sometimes that could be a viable option - depending on the basis of (and legitimacy of) the other vehicle's denial. Depending on what's at stake here, it could be worth exploring your most viable and cost-effective options through a consult with a Missouri attorney (it would make your consult more streamlined and economical if you have denial/correspondence from other side with more information about the basis of their denial). Good luck
