HB870 – This bill concerns unfair claim settlement practices and was introduced by Delegate Hugo

It is identical to SB193 which was introduced by Senator Stuart.

Under current law insurance companies and repair facilities are prohibited from making an appraisal of a damaged automobile without making a personal inspection. This bill would also allow appraisals to be done using photographs. This code also requires that any estimate of an automobile that is prepared based on the use of parts not made by the original manufacturer must conspicuously state that to be the fact.

VCOM has worked with both patrons to amend their bills. As a result, each was amended to replace automobile with motor vehicle. As a result, motorcyclists will enjoy this protection that has to date only been extended to owners of automobiles.

You may follow the progress of this bill and read the text at the following link: House Bill 870

You may follow the progress of its companion, SB193, and read its text at the following link: Senate Bill 193
