My truck is still in the shop following an accident back in August. I was sitting at a red light when a car coming from my right had a green light to turn left in front of me. Another car coming from my left flew through a red light, hitting the other car sending them both into my truck.
Everyone in the other vehicles were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The DPS officer searched the car of the person who ran the red light looking for contact info and insurance. Paper plates, no insurance papers, and half a sandwich bag of Walter White’s recipe was found in the car.
Fortunately I have uninsured motorist coverage.
Fast forward to a week and a half ago.
I get a letter in the mail from AAA auto insurance of Texas. Basic letter acknowledging fault and giving me contact information of the insurance agent for the person who ran the red light. Come to find out the we’re insured.
Great, I withdrew my pending Diminution of Value Claim with USAA and requested the appropriate forms from the AAA agent.
This was the response:
I see this as a B.S. tactic to try and keep a baseline number of people from moving forward with a claim.
Has anyone had any experience with paying for a Diminished Value appraisal and submitting it for a DIV claim? If so, would anyone recommend a specific company? Thanks.
