Get a lawyer to review ASAP. Insurance companies will absolutely dick you around - especially when there is a high probability they are on the hook to pay out for person/property damage.
Common tactics are:
-
Assign fault to you (arbitrarily) to avoid payout
-
Deny initial claim(s)
-
Low-ball you on a payout
-
Defer/delay said payout (if agreed to)
-
Transfer claim between agents, resetting the clock to address it. "Oh we're sooooo sooooorry, Tom/Dick/Jane/whoever isn't handling this anymore, let's start over."
Once you get a good attorney involved, they'll basically say "pay up or court". It's exponentially more expensive for insurance to contest a claim in court, especially if they/their insured can be shown liable.
