my car was rear ended and I have it repaired through my insurance. the other insurance company determined their insured (3rd driver) responsible for damages to my and a 2nd car. that insurance company stated the liability limit is not enough to cover damage to both cars. in the letter (below) however they proposed to pay (say) $7000 to my insurance company (which is the cost of my repair!). BUT, they also requested me to waiver other right (see below).

    is it reasonable for the insurance company to ask me to give up all other property related losses (such as potential diminished value)? should I sign it or reject it? I had not at fault accidents in the past but never saw such release form or requirement. thanks


    This letter is in regard to the property damage claims arising from the accident cited above. Be advised, our insured’s property damage Liability policy limit of $15,000.00 is insufficient to cover the total of the damages incurred by all parties. Attached is a proposed breakdown of our policy limits into offers which are proportionate to the amount of damage each party incurred.

    We have enclosed a property damage release for you and your insurer to sign in the presence of a notary.
