Auto Insurance Claims: Property Damage Claim, burden of proof, car repair


Question
I was in an accident in which I was the one ticketed. I didn't have my car covered, so I lost it, but the other person's car repair (they say) exceeded the $10,000 that my policy covered for property damage, so they are charging me the difference. I saw the car and the damage does not seem that much, therefore I was wondering if there's is any way for me to find out if the cost of the repairs are right or if they are trying me to pay more or something that might not be even part of the accident, I called my insurance company but they refuse to release any type of information therefore I called different lawyers but they only specialized in PIP claims so they couldn't help me .... do I have any legal rights that would allow me determine if the difference of the costs is truly my responsibility or not..... there something that I could do about it?

Answer
If anyone is asking you to pay something, they are the ones that bear the burden of proof.  If they can't prove it, then you don't owe it.  All they can do is try and file a law suit against you where they will be forced to show a judge their proof.
I'd explain your position in writing and let them make the next move.

Good luck!
