Auto insurance adjuster -the assessment is too low - what do I do immediately?

I was within a crash where I be rear-ended last week. The sports car behind me be held responsible, their insurance will pay. But - I be told by their insurance, which is AllState, to take my saloon in to an AllState adjuster's department to have it looked at. The motor is dangerous to drive, one integral light assembly is broken at the vertebrae, but I did drive it to his office. Then the adjuster told me the harmed would cost $1500 to mend, and gave me a written sheet next to details on it. He told me to give this to any motor body repair shop of my choice. I had already get one quote from an car shop - they said $2500. What should I do? I'm worried that the quote is really low from the adjuster, and no body shop would do the work for that little. Should I do as the adjuster looked-for, and give his quote sheet to another autobody shop, and take them to quote based on that - or should I not mention the adjuster's quote, and attain more quotes without it?I in recent times have this instinct that AllState are trying to rip me stale.

Hit and run chance - how do...


get more than one estimate. It may be the $2500 quote be to discourage you - they may have too much business as it is or not approaching to work on your make of sports car.

Also, ask Allstate if they have a register of preferred repair shops. Some shops work with insurance companies and will give somebody a lift whatever amount their adjuster say it should cost. Sometimes they make out; other times they break even; but they'll seldom lose money. AAA have such a list for member; find someone sho is a member and enjoy them ask for you.

Also, check to see if the adjuster will revisit the car while within the shop if hidden sprain is uncovered - like a frame problem.

With a provisional license (UK)?


threaten to sue the person who rear-ended you. That will bring your settlement up.

Plus if you DO sue and go and get a lawyer, they`ll hold to pay your lawyer fees also.

You may do better talking to a legal representative!

Contact you insurance company and hold their adjuster give you an estimate. Also return with the shop estimate in writing and signed by the owner. Then phone up the insurance dept in the attorney generals bureau in the state means and report that All State is ripping you off and are lowballing repair costs by $ 1,000.Write to the AG next to a copy to All State.
