Let me see what you’all think about this one. My daughter-in-law had someone pull out in front of her on a county road. He was on a road that crosses the road she was on and he had a stop sign. Well she hit the brakes but still hit him square in the passenger side. Totaled her car but everyone was ok. Well today his insurance called her and said they would pay 75% of the damages because she should have been able to miss him. He admitted he “thought” he could make it but obviously he couldn’t. The police report is clear also to what happened. My question is, is this a common practice and has anyone had this happen to them?

Is that 75% of her car and 100% of the other?

Ask the insurance company to reconsider and if not turn it over to an attorney.

Just trying to undercut her. His fault, his admittance, police report says same, he pays. Case closed.

And don't admit to anything that they (the other drivers insurance company) may use against her.

I agree, I would call your (her) insurance company and ask for all of their documentations and cost analysis. My team will review. This is not acceptable. Just note that if not corrected promptly, you will take it to the next level. Leave them thinking what is the next level. Basically, play hardball, but be straight to point.

Basically, play hardball, but be straight to point. I agree as well. Insurance companies aren't in the business of paying out money. Totally agree with at the very least talking to an attorney. She might not have any health issues now but what happens if in a month or two she starts to have back/neck pain? I've had to deal with insurance companies 3x in my life. First time in my 20's and I didn't know better so I got screwed (car was stolen). Next time had a lady make a left turn in front of me and I hit her in the RF door hinge. Her car was totaled, mine almost. I lost $$ on that when you consider travel time - it happened 250 miles from home. Last time a guy slid thru a curve, crossing the centerline and hit the truck right in front of the LR wheel. Insurance paid for everything - we happened to have the same ins. co. and even the same agent.

Why is your daughter talking with his insurance company? Her insurance should pay the claim and then they deal with the at fault driver's insurance company.
If she is unhappy with the numbers, she should tell her insurance company so. If she wants to go after the other driver, then I would not accept a claim from either insurance company until she speaks with an attorney.
Her call.
