Generally speaking:
If they have already made a settlement and recoverthe vehicle later, you may have the option of returning the settlement and taking the car back.
If they recover the vehicle before settlement is made, you have to accept the car. They are not required to make a cash settlement.
If the car was damaged by the thief, they would have to settle for the difference in value (less your deductible).
I think that your insurance covers the items that were yours that were stolen, and the company's covers the car damage.
You or your insurance company. The owner of the stolen vehicle would not be responsible because their vehicle was stolen and the driver of the stolen vehicle's insurance would not cover it because he was driving a vehicle that was not on his policy and he did not have permission to drive.
You must have comprehensive coverage in order to recover on a claim from your insurance company if your vehicle is stolen. Liability only is just that, liability for your legal liability for damage or injuries to others.
You should report the theft immediately to the police and to the car owner's insurance company.
hello hi
It's standard procedure for an insurance company to investigate any and all claims made by it clients to insure any fraudulent activity is not occurring. For example they want to make sure that your car was 'legitimately stolen" and that it is not been illegitimately asked to be taken or possibly hidden just to receive the insurance money.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do with your insurance company. If you only have liability insurance, they do not pay anything to have your vehicle replaced.
No, that wouldn't be a reason for claim denial. It may be a reason for them to investigate you for insurance fraud.
The second vehicle will be covered by it's own insurance. That company will then attempt to sue the driver to recoup it's losses
Probably because the owner did not exercise normal precautions and by leaving the keys in the vehicle actually participated in its theft. Call that lawyer who advertises on TV. If he can't get the insurance to pay, he'll get a judgment against the owner. The owner of a stolen vehicle is not responsible for the actions of the thief that stole their vehicle. If there is no liability on the owner, the insurance company does not owe the claim for property damage to others.
Assuming you receive cash from the insurance company, rather than a replacement vehicle: Credit the Fixed asset account for the vehicle at cost. Debit the Accumulated depreciation account for all depreciation recorded on the asset Debit Cash for the amount of cash received. If the difference between these accounts is a credit, then credit Gain on insurance proceeds from casualty loss. If it's a debit, then debit Loss on insurance proceeds from casualty loss.
Either.
