It’s entirely unreasonable that insurance refuses to cover a ‘no fault’ accident, this is exactly what insurance if for. What is the insurance company - I’ll be sure to never use them. Thus is where social media & naming & shaming counts. Yes ...I think a lot of us need to look into this scenario ... okay a few humorous comments BUT I wouldn't want a bill like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of the stock should be made to cough up for the repairs.. Exactly. But owners pocket will likely be empty. Some years ago I had the displeasure on highway 1 passing an accident scene with multiple cars and cows involved. Ugly view of intestines, half digested food, damaged and smeared cars.

Have often wondered hat happens in the case of stray dogs? No owner per se' but are they considered non domesticated or "reared"? Have seen some significant damage caused by "dog strike" ! Had this happen a couple of weeks ago. Dog ran out across the highway and there was no way for me to avoid it. Busted grill and radiator. Insurance is covering it. The dog belonged to a restaurant along the side of the road, but, of course, they denied that is so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot123 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If her insurance is fully comp "first class insurance" I would be at the insurance office and WW3 would be well underway. She has insurance which gives lawyer cover so her insurance needs to sort it out one way or another. I've had this <deleted> before in Thailand when a drunk guy reversed into the side of my suv in a car park. He admitted responsibility (police did nothing about him being drunk apart from watch him get back in his pickup and drive away). Insurance wanted to fill the door, wing and plastic trim...... I went ballistic in their office. Everything was replaced (my suv was still only 3 years old). She needs to tell the insurance to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlylekan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 7 hours ago, webfact said: the cow just dashed out and she could not brake in time It was definately all the cows fault. No texting, watching videos, calling, not paying attention, not watching her periphery was ever the reason was, but the insurance company here sure pulled a fast one for being held liable.

I'd bet $1 she's covered, and the adjuster needs some training. My experience when with dealing with Insurance Companies that there is little incentive for companies to pursue recovery of claims on uninsured individuals. Exceptions of course when such an individual is identified as having financial resources worth the attempt but in the case of a small farmer who fails to contain/control his stock what would be the end result in real terms? But when it comes to claims against those who have insurance they will do so. Not against the insured but the insurer primarily or against the the policy of the insured. That is the basis of why Insurance Companies lobby Governments to legislate compulsory comprehensive insurances. The tactical rationale is that it enables recovery of claims against another competitor or compensated by accumulated premium payments if the insured liable party holds a policy with same company as does claimant. Insurance Companies are not in business to be "nice". So when and wherever they will avoid payouts as much as possible based on policy wording or in technicalities of such wording presented by aspiring "claims agents" who if successful in avoidance of claims are in line to receive a percentage bonus on such claims denied.
