What is the name of your state? AZ
Hello all,
I live in AZ, and when traveling in CA I was involved in a minor fender bender. It was my fault that I rear-ended someone.
My car was rental. My insurance company will cover damage to my rental car, while the liability coverage I had bought from rental will cover (has already) the other guy.
It's been 3 months since the accident, but my insurer says that the rental car company has not sent them a bill to date. At this point of time, I am not sure if rental wants to send us a bill at all, since the damage was minor (some dents in the bumper).
So, my question is, how long am I supposed to wait for them to send us a bill? Is there a statute of limitation here? Should I wait for 6 months, and call them saying we can't reimburse them? If I have to do it, is it my job or that of my insurer?
I have this question because I am planning to move from my current job/location to an entirely new place which may also cause me to change my insurer. So, How can I best manage this case? I don't want some collection agency knocking on my door 5 years down the line asking for money.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
