QUESTION
How can I find out if someone's insurance covered the repair costs after an accident?
Asked on Jul 20th, 2012 on Automobile Accidents - Texas
More details to this question:
I was sued for a car accident, had no insurance at the time and the person won in court. I don't have a judgement against me (yet). I have been paying the person monthly for almost a year; however, the judge said if the person's insurance company paid for the repair, they would have to pay me back. How do I find out if their insurance covered the repairs for their car or not?

Write them a letter and request documentation as to whether their insurance company (uninsured motorist coverage) covered repairs. Let them know in the letter that the court specifically stated that you would be reimbursed for this if it occurred and that you are requesting the information before you continue paying or seek assistance of the court.

If the Judge ordered you to pay, that is a Judgment. I would write to their insurance company and the other party and simply ask. If it turns out they lied then they could potentially be held liable for fraud.

1. If a police accident report was issued, the name of all insurance companies will be on the report. 2. If so, contact that carrier and give them the other party's name to find out if a claim was paid.

You may be eligible for a refund if your own insurance company paid for the damages but not if the other driver's insurance paid for it.
