Question: Insurance Law - Louisiana

Asked on 11/5/2009
Is the insurance company required to pay for all claims on vehicle accidents?
I own a 2009 Chey pick up. I was in the vehicle and had someone driving. They recked the truck and ran off. he hasn't been seen since. The truck is damaged pretty bad and the insurance company is telling me they don't have to pay for the truck to get fixed because there is no driver. The truck is financed through Gmac. What can be done? I owe 38,000.00 on the truck and the repair shop is saying it may be totalled.

If your insurance didn't cover another driver driving your car, you may not have coverage.  If the other driver had his own insurance to drive (not tied to any vehicle), he may be covered but you would need to sue him.

If your insurance company's policy basically doesn't kick in if someone else is driving your car (i.e., not like if you were in a car accident wherein you were driving and someone else hit you), then you may wish to contact your state's dept of insurance to see if there are any rulings/regulations that would require your insurance company to practice good faith and cover your damages.
