Is there a way to fight a claim made against my car insurance?
Can I ask my claims adjuster not to pay out on a claim? This woman filed a claim against me, saying that I hit her car in a grocery store parking lot. That’s not true at all—I was backing my car out of the space and she started yelling that I hit her car! The damage to her car was already there; I didn't even come close to hitting her. Can I fight this?

I’m so sorry that happened! Insurance companies do not want to make payout on fraudulent claims, so yes—call your adjuster right away and let them know about the situation!
The more evidence there is to back up your story, the better. Contact the grocery store and ask if they have security footage of that day. If so, you, your insurance adjuster, or police can get a copy of the footage to prove that this woman’s claim is false.
Accidents of this kind would be paid out under your
property damage liability
and are deemed at fault. At-fault accidents will raise your policy premium, so don’t let it slide if you feel that you are not at fault!If you are unhappy with how your insurance company handles this claim, though, it may be time to shop for a new provider. For better service and the best rate possible, check out the
