Hey folks, help me out here please. Got hit by a car while I was at full stop at the back of my car and I filed a claim from Geico, the other party's insurance co since they were at fault clearly. It's been a week they never called me back about the status of the claim. I called this morning and the adjuster said that they haven't received any news from their insured as the insured avoids their call and she simply doesn't pick up their call. The adjuster said that they can't do anything until they don't hear anything from their insured. My question is is there a timeline for this? My insurance company said that they have to wait also from the other party until they accept liability. What happens if this driver at fault continues to disregard their call or letter? Or if any of you knows a forum for this purpose, pls post the link. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
Report hit and run, if they want to make things difficult. You have all their info and match the damage from the front of their car to the back yours. Perhaps you need to call the tough smart lawyer.
I got the details except the phone number of that woman. I took a picture also of the cars before I drove my car to a safer place to settle with the other drvier.
I had to deal with this before with stupid Insurance Depot. They said they couldn't do anything for me until they could get hold of the guy that hit me. Well this is what I did, I called them and said if they don't handle this matter as soon as possible. I will file a report with the Texas department of Insurance. https://wwwapps.tdi.state.tx.us/inter/perlroot/consumer/complform/complform.html They called me back 5 minutes later saying they just sent the claim to my insurance company.Worked for me. Good luck.
No problem. Let us know how it goes. That sucks for your Beemer though, a little fender bender will end up costing alot since it's a BMW.
This brings up a good point. I have an assigned space in my parking lot. A few weeks ago the guy who parks next to me said he noticed a scratch on the side of his car, and had I done it. I said I didn't think so, but the spots are a tight fit. I went down and looked at his car a few days later. There was no paint of his car on mine, but he did have a white scratch on his car, and my car was white. The problem with his claim, however, was that I have a black grill on my bumper, and, in fact there was no was that my car could have touched his and made a white streak. It was impossible. So I blew him off. This week I received a letter from his insurance company saying that he was looking for damages. Exactly what do I need to do to tell his insurance company that I wasn't the one responsible?
Fatty, you need to turn that over to your insurance company and let them handle it. Tell your insurance company basically the same thing you just posted and take some pictures tof the things you said you saw as proof - both cars, damage on his and the non damage on yours where they should have scraped each other. Then your insurance company should tell his company to take a hike.
