What is the name of your state?Ohio
We are a small trucking carrier in Ohio. We had a leased owner operator who was involved in an accident. He was not at fault and the claim paid to us, the carrier. We wrote a check to the owner operator for 75% and carrier keeps 25% as agreed. The owner operator took that check and cashed it. Today I get a call from the insurance company because that owner operator called progressive saying that he did not receive the whole amount of the claim check. The insurance company wants us to pay the owner operator the remaining 25%.
The owner operator agreed to 75% and cashed the check of that amount. What does the insurance have to do with it and do we have a leg to stand on with the owner operator and insurance company?
