How do I dispute the total dollar amount quoted to me by my car insurance company?

Answer by  silverkatcreationsyahoocom (324)

Get quotes from several local shops for repairs. Call insurance company, tell them that their quote will not cover repairs and tell them that you have quotes from 3 shops (or more) and you need to request a reevaluation of your claim.

You need to request in writing to the insurance company for a second estimate for the damages. I would suggest that you also call around and see who will do a free quote for you. Compare the three quotes and make sure that all three have the same parts to replace and time for labor. If not, something is wrong.

If you are fully comp. you should have placed it in the hands of your insurance co and if you are sued pass the Court papers to them. I am sure it will be settled. If you are 3rd party get yourself a lawyer you can not fightthis on your own.

To start off advise them that you do not accept their amount. Gather three independent estimates for repairs and submit those to your carrier.
