Want to know if your question is answered?
I hit a parked car. Will I have to pay a deductible?
No, if the owner of the car makes a claim against you, there’s no deductible. Liability insurance, which is for the damage you do to others, does not have a deductible.....
I made a vandalism claim. Should I make a claim for a fender bender?
If it were me, I probably would not file a small claim. You don’t say what your deductible is or your damage estimate, but if you’d net only a small amount after your deductible, it’s probably better to avoid another claim.....
