My question is this. The state is Massachusetts. A motor
vehicle accident occurred. My insurance company
did "their" investigation and found me at fault. I wasn't.
Once I got notice of this in the mail, I appealed my
insurance companies finding to the surcharge board of
appeals (which was my right). At the surcharge hearing, I
was found NOT AT FAULT AT ALL. I then sent a copy of the
surcharge board of appeals finding to my insurance company
and they agreed to remove the surchargable points from my
driving record BUT REFUSED TO REFUND ME MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE-
that I had previously paid. They claim they do not have to
refund my deductible, only reverse the surchargable
points. How can they do this. I was under the assumption
the surcharge board of appeals was the final arbiter of
these matters. What gives my insurance company the right
to keep my deductible. Please reference any law/regs that
I can present them with to fix this dilemma.
