What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Florida
First of all, I couldn't think of a good title for this topic.
Okay, so here's the deal. This is based on what my mom told me since it was her car. My mom hit the car in front of her, she hit the towing ball thing that pickup trucks have. Sorry, I don't know the specific name. My mom's car front bumper was cracked, but it never touched the other person's back bumper, just the tow ball. The other person said it's okay since he didn't sustain any damage and both parties left without sharing any information.
Then today we receive a letter from a lawyer stating that they tried to ascertain our insurance coverage. If we don't give them our information, then they will take it to court.
Now, this happened a month and a half ago. My insurance company said no one filed a claim or tried to. So I don't get it, is this person trying to get something out of nothing? This just doesn't make sense, I would think that if a person was trying to get a auto accident claim that they would notify us within the first week, not a month and a half later.
So should I call my insurance company and tell them about this issue or should I just hire a lawyer?
Thanks.
