In Texas. Auto accident (I was on motorcycle) - Other driver was at fault but their insurance claimed I was 20% fault and they were 80% my insurance claimed they were 100% at fault. Insurance didn't want to fight it and left it at that; However I didn't feel I was compensated correctly so I sued for the value of my vehicle and damaged riding gear.
I won in the lawsuit and judgement awarded.
Other party did not inform his insurance and/or insurance did not provide a lawyer, I don't know. Amounts in this are well below any insurance limit (no medical expenses etc)
The other party is not responding to my communications about paying on the judgement. I have looked at what I need to do as far as collections from individual, and not looking for info on collections, but what I am looking for is if the other party should be getting their insurance to pay the judgement amount -- ie shouldn't this be covered under the liability insurance policy or is it not covered under the policy potentially because they didn't inform their insurance they were being sued?
my hope is that I can inform him that his insurance should be paying for him and he needs to talk to his insurance so he doesn't continue to rack up interest charges.
Of course this will really depend on the details of his insurance policy and it could be different, so I am just asking what is generally / typically the case?
