Bad check from auto insurance (rental, vehicle, liability, police)

[Floorist]

So a guy ran a stop sign, crossed 5 lanes of traffic and T-boned me. I only had liability but he was insured with "Auto Owners Insurance". He told the police it was his fault. I thought it would be easy. Three months of fighting with his insurance, I finally get a check for less than what we agreed on and their check bounced. Took anther two months to get my money. Anyone else ever have a check from an insurance company bounce?

No, but if I was you, I would report them to the State Banking and Insurance Dept.

I got run into by someone with them.. My insurance covered my repairs and then Auto Owners tried to claim their insured wasn't at fault.. However, USAA had my dashcam footage of them backing across a parking lot blindly and hitting me.

They still took it to the arbitration... and lost.


And they tried to refuse to pay for a rental while my vehicle was being repaired. I was in the process of filing a claim against their insured when they coughed up the whole $80 for the rental car.
