I would have sued both of them in the same case, and if they wanted to blame each other -- let them. They are both responsible for what happened. As far as you're concerned, it does not matter how you allocate the loss.

Nationwide, claimants do sometimes include interest in filing arbitrations for health care services (I cannot speak for California rules with AAA or other arbitration forums). But as a practical matter, it... Read more »

You may have a bad faith claim for denial of your claim, but it will likely depend on the terms in the business insurance policy. However, even if the insurance policy won't cover your loss, you may still be able to sue the business for negligence for your damages, but you will likely need to... Read more »

The issue is often how much weight to give to the wit testimony. However, remember the car turning LEFT is usually presumed to be at fault ...absent other evidence.
It sounds like the damage is minimal and thus filing in small claims may get you some immediate response.

Yes, it's an asset. You need to request relief from bankruptcy to proceed against the limits of the insurance policy. Also, the contractor's insurance policy does not provide coverage for shoddy work. It does provide coverage if your property is damaged by shoddy work, e.g., you have... Read more »

I would contact the adjuster and/or the adjuster's supervisor and find out why they have not settled your claim. Sometimes, the resolution of... Read more »
My Insurance Company breach our policy by refusing to thoroughly investigate Claims
What is your question? If you are asking if you have a case, I would need the entire story. Failure to investigate, by itself does not make for a bad faith case. There has to be damages caused by the insurance company's unreasonable claims handling.
It depends... on the facts, the injuries, the adjuster, the insurance company, the status of your case, and even the attorney representing you. No random lawyer can answer a question like this without specific details. Consult with an attorney or several attorneys to get a better idea of the... Read more »
