I am running under someone's authority. I had a casual accident... where something, per casualty, breaks from my truck and hit another car. Now the company under which I have my liability doesn't want to fill the insurance claim of the other car, in other to avoid increase of its insurance. SO He fills the claim on my company's name, and I don't have liability myself. He asks to just ignore the letters, because everything is just under my LLC, not under my name. I feel that it's not right? I can be in bigger trouble further down the road. What should I do?

SheepDog and whoopNride Thank this. -
Wow, that is shady. Call his insurance company that your leases too and file a claim.

This was 5 years ago... Did you ever get it worked out?

Question, With you running under someone else authority did you use your company name the truck or their company name on the truck. Reason I ask because if you’re trying to get a new contract who name are they seeing on the truck?

DOT # and company who own that DOT.
TheMegalodon Thanks this.
