Property Damage Claims

When there is a motor vehicle collision and their is damage to your vehicle, this is a separate claim to the insurance company than the injury claim. The automobile collision claim has two parts, the injury claim and property damage claim. The injury claim seeks to compensate for personal injuries, loss wages, medical bills and pain and suffering.
