Claims adjuster wants me to claim something


I feel silly...had a 2-car mva in FL in November of last year. The other driver failed to yield and was cited. My rental car was totalled, but my company took care of all that stuff and I wasn't involved. I was not injured, but went to the doctor when I returned home to AL 3 days later. Minor contusions, soreness, etc....

I keep getting letters from the other driver's insurance company wanting to know what I am claiming for this accident. I missed two days' work with the soreness, but that's really about it.

Do I need to gin up some figure for this guy to placate him? He doesn't seem to want to hear "nothing".

Thanks!

Odd....well you are entitled to compensation for the days of work you missed and your pain and soreness, even if it was minor. Ask for some amount that seems fair to you and treat yourself to something nice

I only say odd that they didn't seem happy to hear that you didn't want anything!

However, in FL, you file for your medical bills under your own PIP. What are you basing it on that he doesn't want to hear "$0"?
