Question

Assume that after their investigation the carrier for the other driver in John's accident accepted liability while John's car was in the shop being repaired and accepted the appraisal John's adjuster had obtained. After John picks up his car he presents the bill for $1,530.10 to the 3rd party liability carrier. If you were the 3rd party PD liability adjuster, what would you pay and why?

(A) $1,430.00
(B) $ 600.00
(C) $1,030.10
(D) $1,530.10

Answer 1

As the 3rd party PD liability adjuster, I would pay $1,530.10 to John because the liability carrier accepted liability and the appraisal obtained by John's adjuster.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I were the 3rd party PD liability adjuster, I would pay $1,530.10 to John. This is because the liability carrier had accepted liability, which means they have taken responsibility for the accident, and also accepted the appraisal obtained by John's adjuster.

Since John presented the bill for $1,530.10, it would be fair for the liability carrier to pay the full amount.
