Legal Question in Insurance Law in Texas

Car Damaged While at Dealer

My Car was being worked on when I went to pick up the car, it had damage that was not there before. The dealer is saying that I need to put the claim on my insurance. Is this correct, or since the car was in their possession should they take liability?

It's the dealers liability. Make them give you a claim form or you'll have to sue them. Good Luck.

It's the dealer responsibility BUT making a claim with your insurance does not raise your rates AND your insurance company has lawyers to collect from the dealer and collect the deductible
