Regardless of the state, if you are not at-fault in an accident, you do not have to have your vehicle repaired, you can simply accept a check. Be careful though, because if you are involved in another accident the next company will not offer you such a large payment. The insurance company has an obligation to restore you to pre-loss condition and if you have existing damage on your vehicle they will not pay for that resulting in a lower payment in the future.

Who pays in a no citation car accident in Indiana?
The at-fault party. Just because no one was cited doesn't mean some one wasn't at-fault. If no one was at-fault then the accident would not have happened.
If someone hits me in a no fault state will they be issued a ticket from the police officer?
No Fault means just that. No Fault. However, you could both be cited for the accident, it will have to be determined in Traffic Court by a judge. If they are at fault, the police officer will issue a ticket. No fault insurance doesn't refer to the legality of the accident, only the compensation.
Do you have to pay to fix the other car if no one was at fault in accident there is a police report but no ticket was given?
Someone was at fault if their was an accident. Just because you didn't get a ticket, doesn't mean that the Police Officer didn't cite one driver for the accident. The codes tell who is at fault. Police have become way to cautious about issuing tickets in accident situations because they don't want to be called to court in these situations. The codes on the accident report tell who is at fault.
Who pays for the towing charges in an accident that is not your fault?
The other person's insurance. This just happened to me.

The San Andreas Fault runs through California in the US and through Baja California in Mexico. Why didn't you just Google this?
What is going to happen to someone who is over 18 and was in a car accident and was driving without a license in California?
Depends on who was at fault: If you were at fault, then you would get a citation (TICKET) for driving without a license (See 12500(a)C.V.C.- an infraction) and would also be cited for the violation that occurred leading to the car accident (i.e., illegal turn, fail to stop at stop sign/signal, etc....) If you weren't at fault, the other person would be cited. Just because you don't have a license doesn't automatically mean you're at fault. If you're an out-of-state driver with a valid license, then you'd be treated as if you had a valid California license.
What happens if you were in an accident and at fault but the other driver had no license?
The license status of the other driver has no bearing on your liability. If you were at fault you are still responsible for any damages and injuries. Just report it to your insurance company as you would any other accident.
Can your employer make you pay the insurance deductible if you have an accident in a company vehicle?
I don't know, but if the accident was your fault, why should he have to pay it? Might be better to pay it so you can keep your job (if the accident was your fault). Probably not, if you were on company business at the time. If you take a company truck home after work and you were at fault, that's a different situation. In either case, if you were at fault, he can write you up or possibly fire you. It might be easier just to pay the deductable.
How do you get the cash value from provident life and accident insurance?

Is an unlicensed driver automatically at fault in an auto accident in Washington state?
No. Just the fact of being unlicensed does not mean that the driver did something that caused the accident. Being unlicensed is what is called a non-moving violation. Another violation of this type may be not having a current registration tag on the vehicle. Just because you don't have a tag on your car doesn't automatically make you at fault for someone hitting your car. Fault for the accident will have to be determined by the police officers after they investigate the scene and take statements from witnesses. The person who is driving without a drivers license will get a ticket for not being licensed and then whoever was at fault will receive a violation for whatever they did to cause the accident.
If you have a repair of 800 and a 500 deductible should the claim be submitted or just pay the difference since the insurance premiums will probably go up more than the 300 difference over the policy?
If the accident was your fault and your company doesn't have an accident forgiveness policy or you haven't been with your company long enough to qualify for forgiveness then I would highly consider paying out of pocket for the damage. If the accident wasn't your fault then go ahead with the claim. Make sure that you know whether the accident is your fault or not. What an insurance company thinks about fault is often times different than what you think.
Who is at fault if there is a tire in the road and someone hits it then the tire hits you?
why does someone always need to be at fault. its just an accident, get on with life and claim it on your own insurance, instead of trying to find someone to blame
