Bill Summary
Auto repair claims settlement. Includes, in the requirement that an insurer provide notice of an insured's right to approve the type of body parts used to repair a motor vehicle, a third party to whom an insured is obligated for damage to the third party's motor vehicle.
AI Summary
This bill amends Indiana's insurance laws to include a third party, in addition to the insured, in the requirement that an insurer provide notice of the insured's or third party's right to approve the type of body parts used to repair a motor vehicle. The bill also establishes that an insurer commits an unfair claims settlement practice if they do not provide the required notice, direct the repair using a different type of body part than approved, or refuse to pay for or use the approved body parts. This aims to provide third parties, who may be owed damages for a motor vehicle, the same rights as the insured when it comes to selecting repair parts.
