- i was in a car accident and my car was totaled. my insurance company offered to pay me the amount i paid for the car, less my $1000 deductible. i was told that the insurance company gets the value of the car through the fair market value. i didn’t own this car for more than 180 days and did not purchase it new. therefore, i don’t believe im getting what my car is really worth(fmv). if the other driver’s insurance company, finds him 100% liable, should i make a claim through them for my car loss, instead of my insurance company? and if i do, will they give me the fair market value?

- my 17 yr old son (only had his license 6 weeks) was in an accident while driving his friend’s car. he was in the car by himself — making a left turn at a light. he was 2/3 of the way through the intersection when another driver hit him — on the front passenger corner of the car — just before the tire. damage to the car he was driving includes headlight, quarter panel, bumper, radiator, etc. damage to the other car is very similar — except to the drivers-side front. the police officer gave my son a ticket and said he failed to yield the right of way — since he was the one making the turn. but… if a driver is already 2/3 of the way through the turn/intersection (that’s where the car needed to be towed from so it is easy to see where he was when he was hit.) — (the other driver was able to continue driving and pulled over once she was through the intersection.) — then doesn’t the driver making the turn have the right away at that point??? i have many questions … is there anything we can do to protest the police report? my son will plead “not guilty” to the ticket, but if the police report says he’s at fault.… isn’t that what the insurance companies will look at?? what will impact will this have on my son’s friend’s insurance? will it have any impact on my insurance?

- the back of my car was scratched at an intersection by a driver who wanted to squeeze behind my car to make a turn and didn’t want to wait until there was enough room for me to move forward so he could pass behind me with ease. i thought this scratch was worse than it was, so i reported it to my insurance company. i then called back and canceled the claim. however, they didn’t remove it from my record and it is listed as a collision with no money paid. does anyone know if i can get this off my record and if not, what records will it show up on? thanks.
