You have to look at the contract between the buyer and seller to determine who bears the risk of loss. Normally, the risk of loss would be on the buyer or the buyer's insurance. Now once it is determined who bears the risk of loss they could sue the trucking company if they were At Fault in some way, but the trucking company does not have to replace the damaged goods (unless there is a contract that says otherwise).

If you keep your insurance reimbursment check is that fraud?

If the insurance company has determined that the damages submitted are valid and issue a reimbursement check, the owner of the check may use the reimbursement for any purpose and is not required to repair or replace the item damaged. Fraud would be providing the insurance company with false information in order to receive a reimbursement for damages.

Where could you buy a tool set for kids?

Do you have to replace roof with the insurance check or can you pay other bills?

I work for an insurance repair company, and yes - if the insurance company has paid you directly for the roof repairs, you can certainly use the money any way you wish. However, if your roof leaks in the future, and say something horrible happens - like your ceiling falls in - the insurance can deny covering any of those damages based on the fact that they paid you to get the roof fixed - which you never did. You could end up with more roof damages than you have now, as well as damages to the inside of your home, which would also be denied.

Do you have to replace a cow you hit on a road?

It depends on what the owner of that cow says. You may have to replace the cow with another one, or pay a fine for damages to that cow as well as how much the cow had originally cost the producer. Often it's best to let the owner himself to replace the cow on his own, because he/she knows better what to look for than you do.Another View: Actually that would probably become a question for your insurance company rather than you. The farmer has the responsibility to maintain secure fences for his livestock, so he does have some responsibility for the wandering cow. As a matter of fact, your insurance company (or you) could probably sue the farmer.
