I’m naive to how American laws work, but why is Amazon involved at all?<p>When a company car hit me, I got insurance information from the driver and then the insurance companies dealt with each other. I was made whole in days.
The title doesn't seem to reflect the actual content:<p>> They made her wait more than two months while they decided whether or not they were originally right about the car being totaled. Maybe they were going to try to fix it.<p>So it sounds like Amazon was dragging their feet figuring out if they were going to pay for replacing a totaled car or pay for fixing a near-totaled car. Then a reporter got involved and the expedited it.<p>That doesn't exactly reflect well on Amazon, but it also doesn't sound like the headline ("they tried to not pay at all") was actually the case.
