Car insurance company incorrectly wrote off my car and caused me a loss. Who do I sue?
Last August a deer decided to headbutt my passenger headlight causing damage. I made a claim to my insurers. Initially they informed me that the computer says it is a write off as the computer said it was uneconomic to fix it. It is a fairly old car with a lot of miles on it. However, they also appointed a loss adjuster…
