If you were rear ended, then why isn't the other driver's insurance responsible for fixing your car? did the cops come? Was the guy charged? If you were rear ended then he should have been charged and all responsibility will be on the other driver's insurance.

I'm insured with wawanesa as well. That's very odd. The times I dealt with them it was ok experiences. Did you get a police report? The guy who hit you insurance should be covering you? He hit you, if you didn't get a police report done, that was the first step you went wrong. And you should have that guys/girls info. I hope it helps

Please specify the police report.

The other driver is at fault, but with insurance now, there is a no fault if you get hit, which just means your insurance pays to get your car fixed, and his insurance fixs his car, just your insurance rate does not go up, because you were not at fault, but the other drivers insurance will go up because they are. The only thing I can think of to why they are not wanting to give you the money for, is because you are set as a occasional driver and not primary driver on the car, even tho the car is in your name, and if you drive the car all the time, you should be set as primary driver, not as a occasional driver.

Your insurance can still go up regardless of who is at fault simply becuase you are making a claim. The more claims you make, the more your insurance might go up. Some insurance policies have accident forgiveness. Ive had 1 at fault and my insurance hasnt gone up a dime.
If the policy was in your parents name, then the insurance company should pay them.

Pretty much sums it up. No fault insurance pays for your own damages regardless of who is at fault. Your liability coverage would pay the other person if they were seriously injured though.

Your insurance policy pays for your damages regardless of who is at fault. You deal only with them, not the other person's company.

what was damage in your car that they said its a writte off?
do you have any pictures???...
It sucks that insurance doesnt want to pay for the damages. You may want to try a lawyer or something that can help you. It is still your fault for not having the insurance under your name however its the other persons fault for causing the accident. You may have a case but you need to look for profesional advice now.
Get a lawyer or an accident claim company that can help you.
BTW brokers suck !! I had one before and never again ... I only deal straigh with the insurance company (TD !)...

I think even if you had one-way insurance, your insurance would pay you and they would get their money back from the other person's insurance. If you said that you got the other person's information I don't see why your insurance would not want to pay you. Because since it's the other person's fault, your insurance would get reimbursed from the other person's insurance company. That's what I was told atleast by my claims agent. I'm with Aviva btw.

I had a car accident and 100% not at fault i had to claim for my car and my physio and medical expenses will my insurance go up? (need help here)

Maybe it depends on your insurance company. I got into an accident 2 weeks ago but I was 100% not at fault. This was my second accident in less than a year and the first one I wrote off my Civic. The agent said my rates will not move since it was not my fault. In fact I'm actually get a 10% discount on my premium (because of the Autograph program). So call and ask your insurance provider.
#18
If you are deemed 100% not at fault your rates will not go up. I am assuming that this insurance was bound over the phone and not in person. Do you have a copy of the actual insurance policy on this vehicle? Read it over and see what it says. You may still have an action against the insurer if you were led to believe that you were covered, especially on an oral binder, but it will be tougher if there is written documentation that you were only an occasional driver. How many vehicles in your household and how many licensed drivers? The insurer is going to insist that each driver is primary on at least one vehicle or the vehicle owner has to guarantee that the car is never driven by the other party. Did you for this policy or your Dad?

you're a ****ing *******...the dude is stressed out about his situation and you call him on something so trivial as his spelling and grammar? Go drink a gallon of bleach.
