Question

William pays his $500 premium every 6 months for automobile insurance with collision coverage. His deductible is $750. William caused a minor accident that resulted in $700 of damages to his car and $1,100 of damages to the other car. William's car looks and drives fine and he chooses not to file a claim to repair his car. How much will William pay out-of-pocket to have the other car fixed?

Answer 1

I believe that William's deductible is only for damage to his car and that he won't have to pay out of pocket for the other car but will have to pay higher premiums in the future due to his being at fault in the accident at least that is what happened to me recently and it worked out that way according to the automobile insurance in British Columbia, Canada.
