Legal Question in Insurance Law in Utah

Is Insurance Law the right area for this?

Hello, I need to find an attorney., Under what area does my situation fall?

I rented a car and the parked car was hit. The person who hit me stopped. A police report was filed, etc. There were no injuries.

I returned the car, filled out an accident report, and was told someone would contact me. A week later nobody has contacted me. I have called but nobody will give me any information or explain the process to me. I have left messages for the manager, but he isn't returning my calls. They say it could take 3+ months for someone to contact me. My rental contract is still open and I am being charged for the car. They have not asked for the police report # or for the info of the man who hit me.

They have assured me that I am resp. for the damages, however. I believe that my ins. coverage (thru my credit card co.) will pay for the damages, and then work with the ins. co. of the man who hit me. But I only have 90 days to file a claim. I have a list of items I need from the rental car co. to file my claim. I am worried about getting these items since I cannot even get a returned phone call.

The rental agency is indep. owned, so the corp. office is of no help. The car rental and accident happened in Utah. I live in Arizona

Call your credit card company and see if you can close the account. You will need to get copies of the rental contracts and get them to an attorney to review to see what your responsibilities and options are. You may call for a free consultation.
