Don't be distracted by the concept that you are only dealing with the insurance company for the person at fault. You are not bound by what their insurance policy pays or doesn't pay. The person who hit you is at fault and their hold all responsibility for your damages. So after a brief chance to set things right, you talk suit to go after what hasn't been covered, including your wife's injuries.
 
If the person is a deadbeat who has been allowed to drive without financial responsibility then it's up to your state to take away their license and registrations. In Ohio when getting license plates for a vehicle you have to sign that you have financial responsibility in place, whether it's your own personal wealth that you can use to pay damages or you carry insurance. The state of Ohio regularly sends out letters for proof to those not listed as holding insurance in of Ohio.
 
Your claim is small and your own insurance company may not want to go after the person for the $1000, since it is your money, if LM doesn't fork up.

also, you can (and should) settle the car damage and the medical issues separately.
 
If you are going to claim medical injuries, you almost have to file a claim, make out an accident report, etc.

Insurance!! My 6-month renewal increased 54 %. No accidents/citations in 8 years. Calling the company got the ".....and we are reevaluating our rating structure in CA. Our losses are exceeding our premium revenue.........."
 
Realizing that CA does have social issues, flake factor, LA LA land concerns et al...........I called about 15 other companies (and lo and behold - - - none of these companies are in the same ballpark)...........
 
What does my present company know that 15 others apparently do not?
 
Today I meet with the lizard. I'd like to close with "Season's best" (but I am actually big time annoyed)..........
 
ez.....

When the lizard or any other company quotes a premium, that quote is based only on the underwriting information you give them. The new company will get an underwriting experience report from your old company. They have 60 days from the inception to stay on you or cancel mid term due to additional information".
 
Usually, the company person will not mention your having taken bankruptcy, spent a night or two in jail, or a credit problem all of which can cause your rate to increase. Is there a new driver in the household that is less than sterling in all areas? What have your neighbors told the field underwriter when he came knocking?

..appreciate the feedback/additional info, EU
 
As I'm the sole operator, the neighbors must factor here. Perhaps they reported seeing a spaniel driving my little VW diesel PU.
 
season's best, ez....
