And you say it's not your fault. Investigation time.

Man, that sucks....That's one thing I hate about FL. We have this "no fault" law or something. I got into a wreck and this old woman was obviously at fault. The cop said so and gave her the ticket. Then I go to collect the insurance money (State Farm sucks big ones) and they say that their client was only 75% at fault for the accident. HOW ARE YOU ONLY 75% AT FAULT?

So they wanted me to pay 25% of the damage on her car. My insurance ended up going to court with them and I am not sure what happened from that but I only ended up with money for 75% of the damages on my car. Luckily my dad was friends with the owner of a body shop and did the work for what they gave me. What the hell is up with that????

So wait...a mugger can sue a robbery victim for defending themselves and win money from it, but a person who breaks the law and damages someone else's property isn't legally required to pay for it?

The damn insurance companies do this crap all the time. No matter if its auto, homeowners,medcial, workers comp, etc. They always attempt to deny the claim or part of it because there are actually people out there that take this crap.I had an insurance company deny a claim when it was somebody elses fault so I went to small claims court and filed against the other driver not their insurance company. The day before the court date the insurance company called me telling me I wasn't going to win and I told them I'll let the judge decide that. They cut me a check for the full amount that day. You have to be a thorn in their side or they will try to sweep you under the rug. Call them every couple of hours a bug the crap out of them. but when you talk to them always stay calm and don't let them see you mad. Hopefully you took some pictures before the hurricane damage.Take a bunch of pictures of the area where it happened and write up your own incident report. If you need someone else to write it up so it looks really good , do that. F them don't let those SOB's get away with it.
