Accident happened on March 7, 2017 in front of 558 19st Brooklyn, NY 11218. Mercedes (Geico Driver) hit directly and totaled my car. Filed claim to Geico. Adjuster declared a total loss but my claim rejected with reason it was not their driver's fault. Then filed claim to Green Taxi driver (Hereford Ins) and they are not listening. Almost 3 months are passed. As per police report, Green taxi driver caused accident and Mercedes driver lost control and hit my car as well as other 3 cars.

Sue both Geico and Hereford and let them sort it out in court. If the damage is $5000 or less it's small claims court, otherwise sue them in civil court (if it's in NYC) or the local district court where you are located.
