[net.legal] Legal responsibilities after an accident claim?

jah@philabs.UUCP (Julie Harazduk) (02/28/84)

I'd like to find out about my rights in reporting accidents to insurance
companies.  I have already received payment for a claim that I submitted
in late December and I am being sued by the third car in the accident. I'm
pretty sure that there is not much of a case for this law suit since the
driver hit me.  However, you never know.

The main problem is that MY insurance company has received a copy of the
accident report (possibly two: 1 at the scene and 1 after), BUT they
insist that I must see them in person to recount (or "give a testimony")
the story.  I intend to get in touch with a legal referral service to
find out about my obligations and rights.  I'm curious to find out other
people's experiences in similar circumstances. 

Please send replies by mail or post to net.legal and net.wanted.  I'll be
checking in to see what information is out there.

Thanks,

julie
