A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could depend on whether there are property damage disclaimers the school has in effect for staff cars parked on the premises. Good luck

But they are not offering us what we feel is right. If we take their offer we will still have to come up with $200 to pay off our loan. We feel that they should at least pay off the old car and give us enough for a down payment on another car. Do we have any recourse here?

Filed the claim in December 2019. Insurance company is demanding a 2nd recorded statement after 7 months. Looking for legal advice on how to handle this.

A Texas attorney could answer best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, the insurance company can take reasonable measures to investigate and verify the facts of the claim. There is no inherent duty to settle - there are claims that don't get settled. It could be... View More
While completing recall work, the dealership wrecked my husband’s truck. The truck is 9 years old, in good shape and has never been wrecked or repaired until now. Due to the age, the paint was oxidized in some places on the truck other than where the damage occurred. While they have accepted... View More

With all due respect, at nine years old chances are it's value is diminishing anyway, so a repaint won't matter. You can ask them to repaint the whole, but if the paint is going anyway, you may want to see if for a few dollars they will do the whole truck.

Normally, they are supposed to pay within 30 days after all required information has been received by them. Sometimes they want extra information after receiving initial information.
What if I get sued? If I plan to return to my country can I use that in the settlement?
answered on Nov 26, 2019
If you have insurance the insurance will take care of it. If not, saying you'll return and trying to get out of it may generate a call from the person to the authorities which is no problem if your visa is valid but if you have overstayed........

If you could repost or add categories, add Social Security and Public Benefits. You are correct in selecting Personal Injury, but you would probably get more meaningful input from an attorney who handles Social Security disability matters. Good luck

I believe the statute of limitations for damage to property is two years. Contact your insurance because they may sue him in "subrogation,"
and would include an amount that covers your deductible.
But first I'd ask him to pay you and see if he agrees. If not you can... View More

Was there a crash? If not no problem. Even if there was, I don't see a problem under most scenarios. Rates only go up if the driver is at fault in causing the collision, if there was one. The question of fault has nothing to do with the license.
My daughter was hit by a driver who ran a red light. The other driver was ticketed. His insurance company denied our claim without even having a copy of police report. They have also been very difficult to contact. I read that Texas doesn’t allow bad faith lawsuits unless it is between the... View More

You should pursue the case and obtain an attorney if the other driver was ticketed if your daughter sustained injuries. There may be other options considering the facts of the accident and whether you also have coverages that can apply. Of course there are time limitations on a lot of claims.... View More

You can still submit your damages to his or her insurance company for direct payment. There may be supplemental repairs to your vehicle so it is best to let the insurance company deal with it.

It might be possible to negotiate for a higher figure. A place to start could be to double-check the references (auto industry data) used by the PD adjustor in reaching the figure they quoted.
