Auto Insurance Claims: Accept responsibility, rear quarter panel, insurance comapny


Question
Hi Richard
I was involved in an accident in a traffic circle . The other driver changed lanes and hit me on my driver's left rear quarter panel . $3100.00 damage to my suv , it was new ,3000 kilometers .My insurance company called and said that my claim was 100% accepted and to get my suv repaired .They found the other driver was at fault . Today an insurance adjuster for the other person told me today that when she talked to me that our stories are conflicting and doesn't know how they could have accepted the claim . I received injuries as well and am still being treated . My question is : Can my origional claim decision now be denied and be made out to be 50/50 as she stated to me today ?
Should I get legal advice for this ? Thank- you in advance ... di  

Answer
Hello Di,

If I under you correctly, it was your company that said the other person was 100% at fault, but the other persons insurance comapny is rejecting that.

You should contact your insurance company and inform them of this. You should try to enlist them to assist you in fighting the liability decision.  Unfortunately, until a check is actually issued or you get something in writing saying they have accepted full liability, thay often will try to get you to accept a % of the liability. Just stand strong and fight.

I hope this helps
