I think you should definitely think about switching insurance providers; this one clearly does not have your best interests at heart and will try and do the same thing again. Look for reputed, reliable companies that offer ..free auto insurance quotes[/url] online; I’m sure you’ll find something decent.

I doubt he has a legal case here. The policy requires certain provisions to be met before a lawsuit can be filed against them. And even then, insurance companies are entitled to have a difference of opinion. The key would be in finding inconsistent handling of the case (relative to others) and/or some part of the file that suggests that they were deliberately trying to deny a part of his claim without regard to the merits of the case. Its unlikely this kind of info would be in the case file and no implications of it could be derived without first backing them into a corner by taking the steps I initially suggested.

I am glad to hear it worked out regardless. I doubt the shop's threat of legal action had any real weight. They are not a party to the case so it would get dismissed. But it certainly helps when you have a shop that may be willing to provide testimony that the damage appears related. Especially if the physical evidence is not conclusive.

Major update, since my insurance are jerks, it took a bit longer to have them pay my bodyshop which meant that my car sat there about a month longer than it should have. My car is like 95% completed. All iim waiting on is for a new taillight to come in and to detail the car so I'm hoping by Friday it should be completed. I added a black rooftop as a minor change of the look and I kept the car the original color :) here's a pic from when I saw it yesterday night
