my insurance co. said its been to long for records i requested on claim and wont help me. the reason i asked is i saw a family member of ins. agent driving my car. i walk now. what can i do?
A: An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry about your accident. When you say that the carrier is not helping you, do you mean they are denying a claim. If so, then the answer to your question about what you can do could include continuing to negotiate, filing a lawsuit, filing for arbitration, etc. Your options could depend on the fine print in the denial. Denials often contain provisions about a policyholder's or claimant's recourses, in terms of venue and forum (which courts, which means of tribunal to preside over the dispute, etc.) To answer your question, you could consider trying to line up a free initial consult to review the details of the accident and the insurance carrier's handling of your claims. I hope you are okay. Good luck
