Had a small collision. Other driver admitted it was their fault. I put a claim through their insurance and they denied me because I "failed to be on the lookout ". I got a copy of the police report and clearly states the other driver admitted they weren't paying attention.

Q:do I appeal with their insurance or get a lawyer? I'm afraid the lawyer will eat up the payout from the insurance and end up exactly where I'm at right now.

Your insurance should assist in the process / provide a lawyer if needed

To clarify, I had liability insurance. So my insurance wouldn't have to pay anyway. Would they even care?

I think you have neck and back pain and should contact an injury attorney.

That’s not how insurance works. Anyone can say they are guilty or innocent. The insurer determines the at fault parties and the % of liability. Depending on state, that % determines who pays for what damages. I’m guessing you said something that shifted more liability towards yourself since they said you failed to be on the lookout (there’s no way to determine that otherwise). It’s also likely the call was recorded and will use that in court against any charges. You should Google how the process works or faked an injury and got an injury lawyer since they work for free and only charge based on what is won from the injury claim.

They were probably like, "well, attempting to deny it to see if they'd go away was worth a try, now we move on to plan B and low ball this fool."

Ugh, that’s frustrating! I'd start by appealing with the insurance, especially since the police report supports your case. If they deny it again, you might want to consider a lawyer, but yeah, they can take a chunk of the payout. It’s a tough balance, but it could be worth it if the lawyer helps you win.

I would advise you to reach out to an attorney.

The same thing happened with me. And the insurance charged me for other car damages
