Our car was deemed total after an accident last month. We only had rental car coverage for 3 more days after the notification. (Progressive Insurance)
We are in the process of buying a new car but meanwhile we need to rent car to get around for groceries/work etc.
I came across this opinion of Texas Supreme Court in a case J&D Towing LLC v American Alt. Ins. Corp., 478 S.W.3d 649, (Tex. 2016).
It states that we may be entitled to a rental vehicle in the same class as the vehicle that was totaled for a period of time required to obtain replacement property. (Links in the comments)
Loss of Use claim in the cases of Totaled car were not practiced before. This opinion came out in 2016. But I still don't see more information/awareness about it online.
How do I get reimbursement for the rental car?
Will Progressive pay? (But our insurance agreement clearly states only 3 days coverage after total loss notification)
Or the other insurance?
