A: An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Do you mean THEIR insurance refused to pay? If that's the case, one option is to sue. Another is to look into your policy to see if it has coverage for them to pay under a first-party claim. If there is coverage for you there and your carrier pays, they could choose to pursue the other side. Your decision could depend on the quality of evidence (video, eyewitness, etc.), the amount of the claim, your coverage, deductibles, and other possible factors. Good luck
