What is the name of your state? KS
I purchased a very nice used truck for $8,000. Three weeks later a person ran a stop sign, hit me broadside and totalled my truck. Their insurance company offered me $5,500 and told me that this is not negotiable. They use some blue book. I looked up the value and there was not consideration for condition or mileage. I think it is clear that condition and mileage should be considered. I sent them a letter to either repair my truck or get me a similar one. They refused and said that they were going to tow the truck to my driveway. I wrote to the insurance commissioners for our state. Currently, I am without truck and still making payments on the truck.
Q) Can insurance adjusters set whatever amount for a vehicle they want? Do they all use the same blue book? What is your recourse?
Q) Can I sue the people who actually did the damage on my vehicle? Obviously yes, but I'm afraid their insurance company will stand with them and state that I refused to take their offer. How to Judges look at this?
