I had a accident Sept 30th 2016. Had full coverage insurance. I am hurt pretty bad but my insurance co said they only give me 1400.00 for my car.

Answered 9 years and 4 months ago by Mr. Christopher Edward Clark (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Dear Anonymous,   I will need some more details about your accident in order to give you a complete evaluation.  The most important detail would be; what caused the accident?  You would not be able to sue anyone unless they were in some way at fault for causing the accident. Sometimes in single car accidents, there are defects in the road or issues with the vehicle which can cause a loss of control. With regard to your property damage, you insurer only has to pay you the cost to repair the vehicle, or the fair market value of the vehicle in the event they determine that it is a total loss.  If you would like to discuss your accident with an experienced personal injury attorney, please feel free to contact me for a free case evaluation.   Chip Clark...

Will I get compensated if my parked car was hit by a stolen car that had keys in it and insurance?

Answered 9 years and 8 months ago by attorney Jay A. Rigdon   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Maybe not. I assume you did not have collision insurance on your car; if you did, your own insurance will pay. The person responsible for the damage is most likely the thief, NOT the person whose vehicle was stolen. The presence of the keys indicate the possibility that it was loaned and then merely REPORTED stolen, and in that case, insurance coverage will still exist from the owner's insurance.... Read More
