Paying out claims is not in their best financial interest because it costs them money. So if you’ve been in an accident and have received a valuation for your vehicle that doesn’t seem right, don’t accept it. Understanding Your Insurance Policy The first thing…

Fortunately, the driver survived, and no other people were injured, but if you are injured in a car accident on an icy bridge, it is important for you to understand whether…
