There could be several reasons why the other party's insurer is not responding to your claim. It could be due to a high volume of claims, lack of information or documentation provided, disputes over liability, or delays in their internal processes. It's important to follow up with them and provide any additional information they may need to process your claim.
If the at-fault party is not responding to the insurance claim, you should consider contacting your own insurance company to help facilitate the process and potentially pursue legal action against the at-fault party.
To file a third-party insurance claim, you typically need to gather information about the incident, such as the other party's insurance details and any relevant documentation.

If the at-fault party is not responding to the insurance claim, you should consider contacting your own insurance company to help facilitate the process and potentially pursue legal action against the at-fault party.
Insurers typically pay third-party claims by first assessing the validity of the claim against the policyholder’s coverage. Once verified, the insurer compensates the third party directly for the damages or losses covered under the policy, up to the policy limits. This payment process often involves negotiations and may require documentation from the third party to substantiate the claim. The insurer then seeks reimbursement from the policyholder if the claim exceeds the policy limits or if there are other applicable deductibles.
Perhaps the best answer is "yes and no". If your auto insurance company denied the claim of another party with whom you had a collision, it was either because you did not have liability coverage to protect you from the claim, or because your insurer, after investigating, did not believe that you were at fault. If the other party had liability insurance, the insurer can deny your claim for the same reasons. If this happens, the other party is generally free to sue you, in which event you need to turn the suit papers over to the insurer so that it can defend you (if you had liability insurance). If you did not have liability coverage, you will have to defend the suit yourself. In all events, you have to act promptly, or else you may lose by default. When you (or the insurance company) respond to the lawsuit, if you have a claim against the other party arising from the same occurrence, it must be asserted as a "compulsory counterclaim". If it is not, you will lose the right to assert it as a separate suit. If the other party had liability insurance that covers your counterclaim, it will defend the counterclaim. The ultimate result will either be that the claim(s) are settled or resolved by the court after a trial on the merits.
No. You have the choice of either accepting payment from the other party's insurer, or making a claim against your own collision coverage. If you own insurer pays your claim, it inherits your right of action against the other party through a process called "subrogation". Your auto policy probably states that you would breach your duties under the insurance policy were you to hinder its subrogation rights.
Assuming that you have collision coverage, you are under no obligation to have your insurer pay for the repairs to your car. You are free to pay for the repairs yourself. If there was another vehicle involved, and you were at fault for the collision, other considerations exist. The other person involved will likely want to assert a claim with your insurer to ensure that damages get covered. However, if you can reach an agreement to pay for the other party's damages yourself, you may be able to circumvent having a claim filed.
In general, yes. You are best advised to first call the other insurance company and see if the other person has reported the accident. If not, you can try to report it yourself, but the insurer will probably wait to resolve the claim with you until it has spoken with its insured and concluded its investigation. You should not assume that the other person's insurer will agree that its insured was at fault. Therefore, it is wise to report the collision to your own insurer too. If you have collision coverage (to fix your own car), the policy will require a prompt report of the collision and will give your own insurer the right to inspect the damage and prepare an estimate that it will pay. If the other party, or his/her insurer believes that you were responsible for the collision, a claim may be asserted against you.
That is a great question! The answer is, it depends. If there is outright and proveable negligence on the part of the employer, the insurer may have cause to either deny paying the claim (under the employers's liability coverage), or pay the claim to the injured party(ies), and then litigate the employer to recover the damages.
A letter of subrogation and indemnity is a legal document that transfers the right to pursue a claim from one party to another, typically in the context of insurance. It allows the insurer to step into the shoes of the insured to recover costs from a third party responsible for a loss. The indemnity aspect ensures that the original insured party agrees to hold the insurer harmless for any claims related to the loss. This arrangement helps streamline the recovery process for the insurer while protecting the interests of both parties involved.
A person other than the parties to a liability policy (i.e., not the insurer nor the policyholder) is a third party.
Subrogation allows an insurer to pursue a third party responsible for a loss after compensating the insured, effectively transferring the right to recover costs from the insurer to the insurer itself. This process helps keep insurance premiums lower by allowing insurers to recoup payouts from those at fault. Additionally, it can lead to faster claim resolutions for the insured, as the insurer handles the recovery process. However, it may also create tension between the insured and the third party involved, particularly if the insured feels their rights are being undermined.
Subrogation is a legal principle allowing an insurer to step into the shoes of the insured party to pursue recovery from a third party responsible for a loss. This process enables the insurer to recover the amount it paid to the insured for a claim, ensuring that the responsible party ultimately bears the financial burden. Subrogation helps keep insurance premiums lower by allowing insurers to recoup costs associated with claims.
