Ugh dealing with all these **** storms.... how do i make a claim on another persons insurance?
I bought a car, and got it shipped from cali. I was told it would be insured by the shipper. The car got roof damage in shipping and now the shipper is basically being a deadbeat and became nonresponsive.
I want to make a claim on their insurance, but I dont know who their insurance is. All I know is the company name, and city and cell phone of the owner.
My insurance isnt helping me because the car wasnt insured through them at the time of shipping. the Underwriter said "the car was under the care, custody, and control of the shipping company" and to file the claim through them ...
How do I go after the guy and his insurance? Esp when he is nonresponsive and not giving me the info? Am I going to have to make ANOTHER small claims filing?!
ANY ADVICE? PLEASEEEE

If your insurance company will not even help tell them your dropping them for someone with better
customer service. It's ok to take your money every month for how long? Call your states attorney general and ask for help too. Or the better business beuro

Quite casual, usually a higher level Clerk and not a judge.
Signed and notarized stuff makes you look better prepared and gets you credit, but is not required. Honestly? Most of the cases were settled due to one party not showing up. First attendance is taken, and if you're lucky enough to not be contended right off the bat then you win and walk away. Otherwise you wait your turn and listen to everyone else's funny stories and learn a little about the clerk in charge that day.
It's kind of "you say" and "they say" and then a decision is made. Less of a court case and more of a clerk making a decision. So being prepared and other little things help you look better.
One time the other party failed to show, so it was easy. Another time I got to present my stuff and won (I think) because the other party pretty much showed and said "nuh-uh, he's lying" so they looked like idiots.
