TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE CLAIMS

 

WHAT DOES TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE COVER?

Murray Law Group represents policyholders and victims in transportation insurance claims for various modes of transportation such as taxicabs, limousines, passenger vans, buses, private ambulances, and other commercial vehicles transporting people, including wrecker services. Regular auto liability insurance may not apply to these modes of transportation. If you are the holder of a transportation insurance policy, and your claim has been delayed, denied, or underpaid, an attorney can assist you, and if you operate a transportation service or offer wrecker services in your area, our attorneys are ready to represent and advise you on legal disputes with your transportation insurance company.

REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE

Insurance requirements are set by local governments, and almost all jurisdictions have liability insurance requirements for vehicles-for-hire and tow truck services. For example, specific coverage levels must be maintained in order to obtain a certificate to operate a public transportation or wrecker service in many counties. Limits may vary depending on the type of vehicle and local regulations.

DISPUTES WITH TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE COMPANIES

In the event of an accident, you rely on your insurance company to cover damages. However, the insurance company may try to deny your claim or offer an unsatisfactory settlement. Our attorneys can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf to secure fair compensation and even take legal action if necessary. Negligent defense is another potential issue when an accident occurs. The insurance company is obligated to protect your financial interests, but misguided decisions or actions on their part may lead to a judgment exceeding your policy limit. If your insurance company failed to prioritize your best interests, our attorneys can help recover your losses.
