Accident FAQs
Who decides where
my car is repaired?
You decide where your
vehicle is repaired. Insurance companies sometimes will only cover you if you get your car fixed at a shop they approve.
Who pays the
fees to my store vehicle?
The insurance company
of the driver who caused the car accident, truck wreck, or motorcycle accident should pay storage and towing costs, according
to what is reasonable in your area. If the truck or car is totaled, the insurance company will pay to have it transferred
to a salvage or wrecking yard. If you don't want your insurance company to more your car, you will be responsible for
any storage or towing fees.
Who decides if
my car is "totaled" or repairable?
The insurance company
liable for payment can decide if your vehicle is not worth repairing. This means that it is totaled. For a vehicle
to be deemed totaled, the cost of labor and parts exceed the market value of the vehicle. If you want to keep the vehicle
after it has been written off as a total loss, you will have to pay the salvage value to the insurance company.
Who pays the
bank loan if my car or truck is financed?
You are still responsible
for any loans on the automobile. If the fair market value of your car is less than the outstanding loan, you will need
to pay the whole amount of the loan.
