What About Damage to My Car?

Property Damage Claim

            People who call us often ask, “Does the person who hit me have to pay for the damage to my car [or motorcycle]?”

            If the other person is at fault, then yes, he is responsible for getting your vehicle repaired, or to pay for the value of the vehicle when it is totaled.  This nearly always means his insurance company, not him personally.

            In most cases where the fault is reasonably certain the insurance company will pay for the repairs as the repair bills come due, or simply give you a check for the estimated cost of the repairs.  The problem that comes up here is that the insurance company will often try to low-ball you by making a low estimate of the cost of repairs.  This leaves you in a bind, because you probably need to get your wheels back on the road for transportation, and you don’t really have the time or the resources to argue successfully  with the insurance adjuster.

            At Lowry & Associates we deal with this issue on a daily basis and can make sure that you are treated fairly.  And we don’t make any charge for taking care of this for our clients.  If you have been injured in an accident involving damage to your car or motorcycle, it may be a good idea to give us a call.
