Aridon, Thank you! That is excellent advice! Nat. GEneral is my insurance company, I will stop working with them and work with the other driver's insurance company. I do have an attorney for the injury side of things, which I would imagine would get back to the property damage side of the company? And perhaps cause them to be a little more generous?
You can also consider letting the attorney handle that portion as well. If I already had one for the personal injury side I'd go ahead and push forward with him handling the entire thing. Just realize that you might be delaying payout but you should get more money. Just depends on the circumstances.
In general folks, unless you have a special policy which provides a stated value over say ACV or replacement cost, it is almost never better to use your own carrier.
Save your carrier for uninsured motorists, hit and run or at fault type accidents.
