I was in an accident where the other guy ran a red light and totaled my car. I have to notify the police of the other guy said is wrong with a witness. The problem is that his insurance company argues that there is a dispute liability and that the police report does not count cause the cops were not there, or what the witness said. Since I have only called my insurance to me in small claims court file. Any tips? I have never filed a small claims and have no idea what to do.
Looks like the insurance company tries not to pay for the accident of their client. When times are trying harder insurance companies to pay nothing.
