Question:
What should I do if the other person’s insurance refuses to pay for the damage?
Answer:
In Florida, if the at fault party’s insurance company is refusing to pay your claim, one of the things you can do is file a complaint with insurance commissioner. You can do this over the phone or online. The insurance commissioner’s office will actually investigate and try and find out why the insurance company is denying your claim. If it’s a valid denial, then there’s probably nothing further you can do other than to file suit against the person that caused the accident. If it is not a valid delay, then the insurance commissioner’s office will pressure the insurance company to pay your claim to assist you any way else it can. The last thing you can do, obviously, is to hire a firm like ours to prosecute a case against the at fault party and through their insurance company get you paid.

If they don’t, then we can file suit. Generally, insurance companies are pretty good about paying claims. Therefore, we’re not called upon too often to file these claims but we can and if we also file an injury claim we can add on the property damage claim which is what we do quite frequently primarily in Florida for loss of use of the vehicle and diminished value, which are damages you’re entitled to be compensated for from the at fault party.
