The following can be reasons for an insurance company to deny your claim: 1. Incorrect coverage – If your insurance policy only has a collision coverage (helps pay for repair or replacement if your car is damaged in an accident with another vehicle or object) and your claim is for comprehensive coverage (damage that is not from collisions like vandalism, fire, or falling objects), then the insurance company has the right to deny your claim. 2. Uninsured motorist claim – You made an uninsured motorist claim on your policy for an accident;.

The most basic question to determine who is responsible for an accident is “Who made a mistake or was negligent?”. From there, facts about the accident are examined to determine who’s at fault. If your vehicle was rear-ended, it almost always is the fault of the driver behind you since one of the fundamental driving rules is to leave enough space in front of you so you’ll be able to stop when the car in front of you suddenly hits the break. You can consult with lawyers with Hogan Injury.
If the accident you were involved in only involves you and another driver and you were found not to be the at-fault driver, then you are not liable. If there are more than two vehicles involved, the percentage of liability is often shared between parties, depending on how the accident occurred.
You can appeal the decision of the insurance company to reject your claim. Read your insurance policy thoroughly and check if the reason why your request got denied. If you feel like the reason for the rejection is invalid, write your insurance company and state their mistake.
