The other driver’s insurance company is accepting liability. The problem is that there was a mistake with my issuance company and they didn’t have my trailer insured at the time of the accident. The plates were good and had current stickers. The trailer is a complete loss and I also have around $1000 in tools that are damaged. Along with that, the lettering on my trailer will need to be redone to my replacement trailer which also cost about $1000. Will the other insurance company reimburse me for my loss or will they try to say that it wasn’t insured and they aren’t liable for those items?
