A lot of insurance companies will deny a claim even when their insured is at fault. If you have one of the higher rated insurance companies they will take care of the claim and then subrogate back to the other insurance company to get your deductible and other money back.

Unfortunately, there are insurance companies out there that even though their party is at fault and received the ticket, they will deny the claim if you have a deductible similar to the cost of the repairs or if you only have liability insurance. The insurance company knows you would have to hire an attorney to collect from them and they hope you will not proceed and go away. If you have full coverage you can call your own insurance carrier and have them take care of your repairs.

If your car is drivable, safe and legal you can drive to the insurance claims center for their estimate.

You may get your vehicle back faster, BUT you could lose a lot of value in your investment.

The vehicle owner is ultimately responsible for the bill. You should have a check for the original estimate and any supplemental estimates before you pick up your vehicle. The vehicle owner and the repair shop need to communicate with the insurance company to ensure payment is received so the repair shop can release the vehicle to you
