Hi experts, I was rear-ended when entering a parking structure and the person hit me told his insurance company that I backed into his car. I have an eye witness who saw that he rear ended me and gave me a written statement. My insurance company denied my coverage. I hired a subrogation agent who represented me in the insurance arbitration panel. The insurance arbitration panel's decision was to split fault (50-50) due to that I told the security guard (didn't witness) that since there was a slope at the parking entrance, that my car moved a little bit due to momentum when I released my break.The guard wrote on the incident report that I stated that my car rolled back.The arbitration decision against me to collect 50% was avoid subsequently. However, the other driver's insurance co. has been harassing me every since to try to collect money.

Wow.. you blew right by a _ton_ of information. Why did your insurance company deny coverage? Denying that you had liability in the matter and defending you is different then denying _you_ coverage. If they did not deny coverage, why did you hire someone to address arbitration? What kind of arbitration was this... court appointed arbitration as a result of a lawsuit?

If the arbitrator found you both 50% at fault how was your liability avoided?

It sounds to me like you did not "avoid" being 50% liable and they are either not bound by this arbitration or they are looking for their 50%.Add your comment
