No, they won’t. You’ll only get a new car if the vehicle is new (within 5 years and udner a certain mileage) and still being paid off, because then the financier/lender is still in the mix. Lenders can and will aim their own lawyers at the insurers.

If your car got hit, then I’m guessing you’re dealing with the other drivers liability insurance, right?
I can’t speak for how the legal system where you are works, but I would hold the other driver liable for every single cent, involving a lawyer if necessary.

Yeah we got a lawyer. It’s annoying to have to do that because by default the insurance companies don’t want to do what they’re supposed to be doing.

Definitely. The business model for basically all of the insurance industry - denying as many claims as possible directly contributing to the margin of the company - is fundamentally broken. A real pity on account of how good and beautiful the core idea of insurance is.
