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
And financing $3000 on my premium policy

I suspect police will tell you this is a civil matter. Because such a small amount of money is involved, a civil claim for this amount falls within the jurisdiction of Texas justice of the peace courts. Such courts handle “small claims” where the amount in controversy is less than $20,000.... Read more »
My claim for auto insurance was denied by the perpetrator's insurance because their client "won't cooperate with the investigation. My car is still damaged. Do i have a claim?
answered on Mar 1, 2023
In Texas, you cannot sue another person’s insurance company directly.
Instead, you should contact a personal injury attorney to file suit against the other driver.
The person who hit my car is underinsured and my insurance company is considering this a total loss. I can't replace the vehicle with one that has the same mileage and condition as mine. How can I recover enough to get a decent vehicle?

You should make a claim on your uninsured/underinsured insurance coverage.

If liability is disputed in intercompany arbitration will the insurance company notify the insured of the arbitrators decision?
answered on Dec 9, 2022
In a typical automobile liability insurance policy, the insurance company has both the right and the duty to defend the insured driver.
It is not typical in intercompany arbitration for the insured to be notified of the award
I have two full time jobs and have full health insurance through both BCBS and United Healthcare. Both are refusing to pay because each claims i am primary on another policy. Each is trying to subvert themselves as secondary under ther other. This seems illegal
answered on Dec 9, 2022
There are rather complex rules called coordination of benefits which address the situation when a patient has coverage under two health separate health care plans. These rules resolve which one is primary and which one is secondary.
It is definitely legal. There are a number of... Read more »

before passing away in Feb 2022. Prudential is telling me (her Executrix) that even though she started a claim and outlived her father, her estate is not eligible for the proceeds because the 1992 policy had an "automatic mode of settlement" that paid only the 3 living persons.

If you are on good footing and the insurance company is in the wrong, then you will probably need to open an... Read more »
