You can sue your insurance company for a higher amount but there is no guarantee that you will win. You will need to have proof and be convincing that you deserve more money for the pain and suffering.

Who pays if sued for more than liability coverage?

If the amount of liability insurance coverage isn't enough to pay for the damage, the insurance company will only have to pay the amount of the policy. For the rest of the amount, a personal lawsuit can be brought against the responsible party.


Difference between a deductible and a premium?

A premium is the amount of money you pay the auto/health insurance company monthly, quarterly, or biannually whether or not you get in an accident or go to the hospital. The higher your premium the lower your deductible, and the lower your premium the higher your deductible. A deductible is the amount of money after you get in a car accident or visit the hospital before your insurance company pays anything. After you have met your deductible the insurance company covers the rest of the expenses.


If you are at fault and opt for a driver's course to remove the points from your license does it also remove the points from your insurance policy?

Probably not. Although the insurance company may give you a discount for taking the course, it will probably be much less than the amount your insurance went up after the accident.

Can you settle auto personal claims without going to court?

Yes, and it frequently happens. When an accident happens, the injured person normally has 2 years before it has to file suit and some of this time is used to try to settle the matter before filing a lawsuit. The usual process is the person who caused the accident notifies his insurance company and gives it the details. The injured party sees a lawyer about suing. When the injured person is about done with treatment and it is known whether future medical treatment is needed, his lawyer is ready to put a dollar value on the injury. The lawyer will advise you or your lawyer of the amount of money they intend to sue for, but will offer the insurance company a chance to settle before that. The insurance company reviews the claim and the facts of the accident and injury and determines what it is willing to pay prior to suit being filed. A lawyer for the insurance company tells the other lawyer what they will pay at this time. If everyone is satisfied with the amount offered, it is accepted. Everyone signs appropriate releases, the money is paid and that is that. If the amount is unaccpetable, suit gets filed, but the negotiations starts again and the suit might be settled before the trial date.

What happens if your car is totaled and you are paid up on your insurance but not on your car loan will it be repossessed?

The insurance company would not be interested in repossessing a car that has been completely demolished. The insurance company will pay over any damages to the loan company since it has a lien on the car. You would receive any amount remaining after payment of the car loan. On the other hand, you will be responsible for any remaining balance owed on the car loan. That is why "gap insurance" is important for a financed car. Gap insurance pays when the amount of compensation received from a total loss does not fully cover the amount the insured owes on the vehicle's financing.
