Auto insurance claim on sold vehicle?

Jun 13th, 2011
by admin.

I was in a car accident and received a pay out from the car insurance. Rather then fixing the vehicle I sold it. Now the buyer is making a claim on my insurance to have it fixed. Does anyone know the Statute of Limitations on CT insurance. I was under the impression that in CT once I received payment and the car was sold it was a closed claim but my insurance company now wants to pay out the buyer of my car which makes no sense to me. please help

    The buyer purchased your car “as is” right?

    The buyer has no claim to repair a car that is sold “as is.”

    The buyer cannot make a claim on your insurance unless you hit their car.

    The insurance company already paid the claim. They are done.

    See a lawyer for further issues.

    contact the insurance company and they can file a fraud charge on the guy, he bought the car damaged and then placed the claim, he was not the legal owner at the time of the accident.

    The buyer can’t file a claim on your insurance.

    You’re leaving something out here.

    Selling the car, though, doesn’t close the claim – especially if the car was a total loss – because if it was, you can’t close the claim, you have to sell the car to the insurance company.

    For whatever reason, if your insurance company pays out a second time, they’re going to come after YOU to get the money back, that you got from the first payout – even if it was from a DIFFERENT insurance company. Getting paid twice for one claim is called double dipping, and is illegal.

    Your questions makes no sense. The person who bought your vehicle cannot make a claim on your policy, and no insurer ANYWHERE would be considering this claim, period. I suggest contacting your adjuster and finding out exactly what’s going on, because what you’re saying makes no sense.
