Hello:

For any Mass lawyers, or those that understand Mass auto insurance:

Was rear ended the other day, and other party takes full responsibility.
No question of who was at fault, as other party admits to fault.

The other party's insurance company says that they will only pay $26,00 per
day for a rental car while mine is being repaired. They say they are not
obligated to
pay for a rental car of equivalent type to that which I was driving.

Certainly not worth hiring a lawyer for.

But, how is Mass auto insurance structured-

Are they according to state law obligated for more, or is it totally up to
them what, if anything, they will pay for a rental car if their policy
holder was admittedly at
fault.

Really don't understand at all how this works.
What are their legal responsibilities (the other party's insurasnce company)

Any information, or clarification, would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Why should you care about the other party's insurance? The other
party is liable to you. His insurance company reimburses him.

If your rental costs $50/day and his insurance company reimburses
$26/day, then he ends up paying the other $24/day. If he doesn't like
it, that's between him and his insurer.

At least, that's the way it would work in a sane state.
