Auto Insurance: Frequently asked questions

I've just been in an accident. How will the insurer issue the check to repair my car?

It depends on whether or not you're in a first-party or third-party claim situation. In a first-party situation, when the claim is being paid by your insurer, the check will llikely be made out to you and the body shop. In a third-party situation, when the claim is being paid by the other driver's insurer, it's likely that the check will be made payable to you alone.
