Despite what their advertisements say, insurance companies are in the business of making money, not helping people. And often, even after all of the paperwork and red tape is hashed through, the amount they're willing to pay is less than reasonable--as if having the car accident alone weren't bad enough. Follow these steps if you decide you need to dispute an auto insurance claim.

on 8/29/2008 on 01/22/2007 i was involved in a collision that the police declared a 50-50. the other driver drove left of center and actually caused the accident but neither of us were cited. geico-claim 0146109670101025 decided i was the at fault driver and paid the other driver's total expenses. i had to fix my vehicle at my own expense and have been paying huge premiums ever since. this has cost me thousands of dollars plus the stigma of an at fault that will plague me the rest of my life. i need help! sculler1x@core.com

on 7/16/2008 Need some guidance. I was completely backed out of a parking spot, at a stop, putting my car into drive, and some woman slams me from behind. Her insurance Geico (cheap-o) is saying that I am 65% at fault and she is 35% at fault. I am in total disagreement, and believe whole-heartedly that she is 100% at fault. They are saying they made their final decision. The accident happened on private property, so the police report means nothing. What can I do? I want to dispute because I believe the truth will prevail. Any advice?
