Rental Car Accidents
If you are injured in an accident while driving a rental car, you may have to deal with complex insurance issues, not only with the other driver but also with the rental car company. To protect your rights, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.
At the law firm of Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California, our lawyers will deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on what is most important: your health and medical treatment. As long as we are handling your personal injury claim against the at-fault driver, we will help you deal with the rental car company property damage claim at no charge. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Rental car companies typically try to sell you supplemental car insurance. These policies are often confusing and may duplicate coverage you already have through your auto insurance company. Whether you purchased rental car insurance or not, our lawyers will help you sort out which insurance company should pay which bill.
If you are injured by the negligence of another driver, his or her insurance company should be responsible for paying both your damages for personal injury as well as the property damage claim for the rental car company. However, the rental car company may attempt to hold you responsible for property loss and demand immediate payment. As your attorneys, we would simply ask you to forward all calls from insurance companies to our law office.
Our attorneys have more than 50 years of combined legal experience dealing with insurance companies. We have handled complex cases involving commercial vehicles, rental vehicles, work vehicles and contested liability. Before we represented individuals, our lawyers defended insurance companies against personal injury claims. Our inside knowledge of the insurance industry helps us protect the interests of our clients every step of the way.
