I was T-boned at an intersection and the driver’s insurance has accepted liability, but refuse to pay for a rental car. What do I do?
After getting hit my car ran into a water main that was fixed 2 days after.The person at fault INS company is waiting for an invoice from the county.They refuse to pay for a rental car while I have no transportation. I only carried liability so can’t use my INS. It has been 18 days and they seem to be dragging their feet. Is there a time limitation on how long they can take? And what are my rights here with getting an rental car?

You can report that insurance company to the Florida Dept of Insurance. This is exercising your administrative agency rights.
At the same time, I highly recommend hiring a personal injury accident attorney to help pursuade the insurance company and get what you need. Try www.attorneypages.com and then check his or her record at the Florida State Bar.
Unfortunately, I don't see any other way.
