Only file under your policy if you have coverage (collision) otherwise let the tp carrier handle it.
Assume with a kid car you’re liability only

well sir, they aren't surcharging you for your accident but you did lose all your claims free discounts. Sorry about your luck bro.


That’s on your side of things. Shameful. Policy makes you report or else. There’s a claim.

You don't understand insurance claims. The insurance policy is a contract between two parties, with the conditions spelled out clearly for both sides regarding what actions must be taken in the event of a loss and each side's responsibility. I am guessing that you are an agent.

I do. You can tell yourself whatever you want.

There is no liability if they are not at fault. No duty needed at all to report to own carrier. AT ALL.

Read your policy if you don't think you have a duty to report an accident regardless of fault. And if you file a claim that for a loss that is listed under a named covered loss, then yes, your insurance company is contractually obligated to pay for that loss.

Had a similar case couple years ago where three drivers and police report were in conflict. Filed to repair my vehicle under my collision coverage. Took a year to settle claim under arbitration between insurance companies so I would have been without my vehicle for a while if I had waited until it was resolved. Ultimately, another driver found at fault so my insurance got the money back in the end but over a year later
