The Insurance Company is only obligated to pay the fair market value of the car. Some people owe more on their vehicles than their car is worth, which is referred to as being "upside down" on their loans. One option is to go through your own company and see if they will give you a better deal for your car. You can also attempt to gather other market evidence of the value of your car. Your personal items that were destroyed in the accident should also be reimbursed to you separate from your car. Remember, in addition to your car you should receive a settlement above and beyond your medical expenses and wage loss. This should help with any additional out of pocket expenses for which you feel entitled.

How does one get damages from a carrier if there is incorrect information?

Even if the motorist did not give you correct information concerning the policy, the carrier knows who its insureds are and what policies they have, so they should be the ones providing this information to you, not the other way around. You mention that you have received injuries. Were those injuries treated by a doctor? If not, then they might not qualify as being serious enough to be compensible. You don't mention whether or not you have a lawyer, but if you do, you should not be having the problems that you describe here. If you don't have a lawyer, well then that explains why you are having such problems, and also indicates how best you can resolve them.

How do settlements in personal injury cases work?

Answered by attorney Earl K. Straight (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Law Offices of Earl K. Straight
Texas has a comparative negligence statute. This means that the plaintiff can only collect if he is not more negligent than the defendant. So if the Plaintiff is 50% liable, he can collect 50% of his damages. If he is 20% liable, he can collect 80% of his damages. But if he is 51% or greater, he loses and cannot collect any damages.
