Hi Debie! How can I assist you with your legal issue today? Feel free to share some details about your situation.
On September *, *, I was involved in an auto accident with another driver who was insured by State Farm. The accident was determined to be the other driver’s fault. State Farm assessed my vehicle as a total loss and agreed to pay me $*,* for the car. I informed State Farm that I had misplaced the vehicle title and would need to obtain a replacement from the California DMV, as that is where the car was originally purchased. Due to delays, I did not receive the title until March or April *. In the meantime, I signed a total loss agreement with State Farm. Recently, I contacted State Farm to inquire about the possibility of retrieving my vehicle. I was informed that the vehicle had already been sold at auction and could not be recovered. However, State Farm stated they are still willing to proceed with the payout, but are now deducting $*,* for the salvage value of the vehicle.
It sounds like a complex situation. You may want to consider the following:
- Review the total loss agreement you signed to understand any terms related to salvage value.
- Contact State Farm to discuss the $*,* deduction and explore if it's negotiable.
- Consult with a local attorney for personalized legal advice.
Would you like assistance connecting with a lawyer to discuss this further?
I contacted statefarm but they insist on deducting the $*
It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation. Sometimes, insurance companies deduct salvage value if the vehicle is considered a total loss. If you're interested, I can help connect you with a local lawyer who might provide more targeted assistance. Would you like to explore this option?
After the accident, State Farm failed to cover my $* medical expenses. Additionally, they presented me with a document requesting that I waive any future rights to pursue legal action against them or their client. I chose not to sign this document, and as a result, my medical expenses were never reimbursed.
