I was hit by a rental car on June 8. My children were not in the car with me (thank goodness) but their carseats were (Britax MA and Graco Nautilus). The rental insurance office claims that under Washington state law, they are not required to replace my carseats because the seats were unoccupied at the time of the crash. I said that the manufacturer states that the seats can no longer be used; they claim that is irrelevant. Regardless of what the manufacturer says about the need to replace the seats, they are not required to pay for that.
Are they right? How can I find out?
My insurance will not pay for the seats because I do not have collision coverage. I do have uninsured motorist but they say that because the other vehicle was insured I cannot submit a claim through uninsured motorist.
