You can only collect the amount of your actual loss but no more than the limits on the policy. If a person does not have enough limits on his policy and he hit you then you can sue him for more but you will not be able to collect the policy limits amount then still sue for the remainder of the loss.

Should you put a claim if your wedding ring was lot or stolen on your homeowner insurance?

It depends on the cost of the ring and the amount of your policy deductible. Most deductibles are at least $500.00. If your ring only cost $499.99, you will receive nothing from your company. If your ring cost $510.00, you will only receive $10 from your company.

How do I reopen an insurance claim?

It's time to hire a professional after your unfortunate encounter with the insurance company. When your policy provides a maximum amount and your damage indicates that you require claim assistance, you should be able to access those funds. You only need to contact a public adjuster.
