Please help me with this one:
i got involved in an car accident on June 2017. I was turning right on a traffic signal and this guy who was coming straight hit my car on left rear wheel where petrol tank is located. The guy who was driving does not own the car and he had got hole in his licence. His car's front bumper got a minor scratch but my fuel tank with the rear bumper and left rear light (break/signal/reverse) were hardly smashed.
I paid $1700 to repair my car. Now the owner's car insurance company has sent me a invoice of $17000. I believe it was his fault to hit me. I talked with my insurance as I have only third party insurance, and they say I need to make a claim in this case and I have to pay $1200 upfront before they talk with the other party's insurance.
Other party's insurance has now gone to a lawyer and they have asked me to give them my insurance claim number which I have not done till now. What will be next procedure for me now?
Please help me with this as i don't know anything about this kind of situation!
