If you want to collect otherwise you need a lawyer to sue for damages
The other parties liability should if it was their fault. Your liability should cover the vehicle you damaged.
Its your fault
There is no deductible for liability claims.
If a car is totaled in an accident and only liability insurance is present, there is a chance that the other party's insurance will pay for the vehicle if the accident was their fault. If a car is totaled, but no others were involved, then the responsibility falls on the registered owner. This will not release the registered owner from paying for the vehicle, either, if money is still owed on the car.
If the accident is your fault, your insurance company is not going to pay out anything. If it is the other person's fault, the other insurance company will be liable.
Tennessee is not a no fault state. When a person has been injured due to a motor vehicle accident will collect payment from the at-fault driver which is called tort liability.
get a good job............you will (assuming you are at fault for this loss) be require to pay for the totaled vehicle.........
Fault in the accident is not a consideration. Normally the insurance company or the at fault driver is responsible only for repairing your vehicle and providing you with a rental car. While this may not be entirely fair, it is the system and you agreed to it when you chose to drive. Some states do have a provision that a vehicle must be totaled if the damage exceeds a certain percentage of the total value of the auto. YOur best resource is your insurance agent. lwpat
If another person was at fault for the accident, you will need to go after their insurance company. If you are liability only, your insurance company will not pay for anything.
The at fault driver always has the primary liability for the damages they cause in an accident. (The guy who rams the other guy).
Anything that is not permanently attached to your vehicle is not covered under your auto policy. If you have a homeowners/renters policy, there could POSSIBLY be coverage there.
Yes, but proof will be necessary - determining fault. Some insurers like to mess with your head and question the "fault" and deny coverage. Get it in writing - possibly by the at-fault driver or YOUR insurance company. Here in Canada, even if you only have PLPD, if the accident is not your fault you are covered for repair, minus the deductible.
