Insurance question (car accident)

[Irving]

What is the name of the other company?

[DHC]

She says that the PD always directs her to a voice mailbox and she leaves a message, but it has been over a week and no one has called her back. Maybe next week? She already dumpped $1100 into getting the car running again because she could not wait until I had time to help her. I only have Sunday off this week.

Their insurance company has been the worst I have ever seen, and they pull that "you do all the paperwork and prove it to us, and we'll think about doing something" attitude.

A few important points:

* Any action to penalize the uninsured driver will have to come from the PD. All you or your sister can do is to advise the PD that the other driver was not carrying insurance. Then, it is up to the PD to decide if they want to hunt down the offending driver.

* If there was no Uninsured Motorist coverage, then the insurance company has NO obligation to do anything. I think you said the only coverage was liability, so in that instance, you should expect NOTHING from the insurance company. Any anger directed toward them for inaction/indifference is, IMO, misplaced.

* At this point, your ONLY recourse is directly with the person who caused the accident. If that person refuses any contact with you, the only way to legally compel a response is via the court system.
