Identify the Source of Recovery

Looking at things like the insurance agency, the people who are directly involved with the ownership or drive the car and if the car serves a business purpose. Create a checklist to make sure that every area has been investigated before moving forward. 


What is an “affidavit of no other insurance”?

Once the source of recovery has been determined, this can be a resource to ensure that your findings are accurate. Look into bank loans or deeds to find additional information. 
 

“Hiding the Ball”

Sometimes the defendant might attempt to hide valuable source of recovery information to ensure a lower payout. You don’t want to give up on a case just because there’s no known insurance. Moving forward with a lawsuit can cause them to reveal information.
