What is the name of your state? Maryland
A couple months ago my boyfriend had an accident that was not major in my vehicle. He left a CD in the roof of my vehicle and when it flew off and he realized it he pulled onto the shoulder, backed up some, and as he was placing my vehicle on park this gentleman came out of his driveway and rearended him. The gentleman's insurance admitted liability the next day and had issued me a check for my vehicle's damages (+/-$700). However, my name was so mispelled that I did not even attempt to cash it. As it then turned out, a couple of weeks later, my boyfriend was still hurting so he went to the doctor. He has a degenerative disk condition and some back problems. His doctor took an MRI and concluded that there was something wrong with his neck directly as a result of being rear ended. I faxed the other insurance to advised them that he was going to the doctor's because his pain was not getting any better, a receipt for the CD player that broke when it flew off the console on impact (+/-$100) they had instructed me to do this over the phone), and a receipt for my transmission being fixed from impact too (+/-$200).
Shortly after this happened I was speaking to my insurance who informed me that the other insurance changed their mind and "took back" liability and put a stop payment on the check.
Can they do that? What legal grounds do I have to fight this and how can I go about it?
Thank You,
