O/O leased on and I damaged my trailer, Carrier refuses to file a claim.

I do not know what to tell you, do you have or can you get a baseball bat?

I can't imagine not having insurance on my own trailer though.

 

Maybe go after the guy who pulled his burning trailer next to you.

 

You can call their insurance and file a claim yourself. You don’t need them. You have a contract and your vin should be or have been on the policy.

 

How much was the damage?

 

The way I understand it, anyone can file a claim, now if it is just some idiot off the street trying ti file a bogus claim, the insurance company may not open one unless a lawyer makes them.

 

why are you out of a trailer.

 

I'm not a insurance guy but unless the burning trailer damaged your trailer I dont think it would be considered relevant in anything other than the explanation of why you hit the poll.

Not trying to say you shouldn't get a insurance claim but if I understand your story correctly you drove forward and hit the poll and that's what bent the crossmember and did whatever to the axles?

I know the other trailer fire is why you moved but I think so far as a insurance claim goes it's kinda irrelevant unless the fire did actual damage.

Sort of like if you drove off the road because you saw a wreck on the other side of the highway..

So far as the insurance claim.. I would contact the dot or the insurance company and ask directly how to move forward..

If you were using the trailer under their authority then you have a right to file a claim.. They cant tell you that you cant. It's not the company's decision to decide if you are filing a false claim or not, it's the insurance companies.

As far as trailer being ruined.. They can fix cross members.. At my old company we had a full fledge trailer shop and they'd completely rebuild trailers.. So long as the trailer is worth the repairs it can probably be repaired.

 

anyone get that new popeyes chicken sandwich.
