Why do I need a lawyer to read my own auto policy before I file a claim?
Drivers don't know what their policy actually covers (rental? OEM parts? diminished value?) until the adjuster says no.
Who has it: Policyholders at the moment of a loss, too late.
Evidence
Drivers describe only learning after an accident which coverages their policy lacked, such as diminished value, and losing money when they later sold the car.
