Had a fender-bender the other day, very minor, no injuries. Anyway,
turns out it was the other person's fault, so their insurance claimed responsibility. They want to send me a check from their OWN estimate from my photos only, which is waaaayyy too low for the repair. I went and got my own estimate from a shop, who did an physical examination of my car, that I will use and sent it to the adjuster. Seems they rushed to come up with their own and now they're going to ignore mine.
How should I precede with this and what options do I have in order to force the liable company to pay me what the repair is actually costing, other than getting a lawyer involved? I don't want to come up short on this.
