Re: Auto Accident/Victims Rights/Insurance Claims

The insurance company is not required to pay more than the value of your car (plus 5% for sales tax to cover the cost of you acquiring another vehicle). You are also entitled to a reasonable "loss of use" claim if you need to rent a substitute vehicle which is usually limited to the time it would take to repair your vehicle.

If you would like to discuss your options give me a call...
