[TR] insurance

[Jonas Payne]

I've been in 4 car accidents, in 2 of them, I was hit by somebody with no
insurance.  In a 3rd, in which my Morgan +4 was totaled, the insurance
limits carried by the other driver were inadequate to cover the damages.

 

You don't carry the insurance for yourself - you are insuring yourself
against the other guy.

 

Additionally, if you don't have "uninsured - underinsured" protection, I
would highly recommend it.

 

If not for this, I'd have been out of pocket about 150k in these instances.
More if anybody had been seriously hurt.

 

Always remember - you can't get blood out of a turnip.

All this talk of insurance, collector policies, and agreed value got me
thinking about who is liable.  If someone hits my car, are they not liable
for damages?  What does it matter what my insurance says, it is their
insurance and personal worth which would/should pay the damages to my car.
Even if their insurance had a limit, why is that my problem?   If their
insurance company wants to total my car, can I not refuse the offer and
demand payment of damages from either the company or the individual?
