    Other party is denying my claim. Can I still get DV?

    My 2022 Model X was hit back in March 2023 by a 26' U-haul truck. I was parked in the U-Haul parking lot, so my insurance determined the other driver to be 100% at fault obviously. It ended up being repaired for about $16k. Initially, I went through the other guy's insurance (Mercury). They...
