Back in October of last year while driving to visit a customer a few miles from work I was involved in a minor accident. I was in the far right lane preparing to take a right hand turn when a man at a complete stop in the adjacent lane decided to switch lanes and did not see me passing him. The front-right corner of his car hit my driver side door, rear wheel and bumber cover causing approximately $1200 damage. I was with a friend/collegue in the car and we proceeded to get out an exchange information but no one stoped as a witness. The only witness was my brother who was behind me when it happened. I thought it was such a clear cut case and the man seemed very professional and accepted responsibility and as it was not alot of damage I did not call the police for a report. The following day I filled a report with Allstate, (turns out we both had the same insurance company) took my car to get inspected and started waiting for my claim check. About 10 days later I call to see what the hold up is and Allstate said that they denied my claim because the man told them that I had hit him.
I wrote a letter of complaint to Allstate, the State of Texas Insurance Board, have his information, have a occupant in the vehicle, and a driver behind me. Do I have enought to file a small claims court case against the other driver for the damages to my car?
