Apr 12, 2021 · What happens when liability is admitted? If liability is admitted, this means that the defendant insurers have accepted that the accident did take place as a result of a fault or negligence on the defendant’s part. They may admit breach of duty and therefore admit negligence but may place you to strict proof regarding causation of your injuries.
What happens after you file a claim. Once your claim is filed, you will be contacted by a claims adjuster. They may require that you complete a Proof of Loss form. The adjuster will determine how much of your claim your insurer will cover, and guide you through the claims process. How fault is determined.
