Car accident and insurance fraud?
Monday, September 7th, 2009BkrChk asked:
My son was in a car accident. Thank heavens he was fine. However, he has a nice classic car that he and his father were trying to fix up. The other kids insurance company gave us a check to get the car fixed but when we took it to get fixed we found some frame damage. Because of this he is considering parking the classic car - working on fixing it as he gets the money and taking the insurance money to get a new - used daily driver. My husband is concerned that this may be considered insurance fraud. I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
our concern about going back to them is that they may total the car, then we'll have an R title and we don't want that...
