Re: Auto Accident?

This is a very typical insurance company tactic. All insurance companies in Texas routinely cheat claimants from a few hundred to several thousand dollars on their property damage claims. They hope, of course, that you will just take what they offered and drop your claim (90% of all claimants do just that). Your only recourse is to hire a lawyer and have him file suit. If more people did this instead of just giving up, the insurance companies would be less likely to continue this fraudulent practice.
