Someone hit my car, he was at fault. I took my car to one of the insurance company preferred body shops. The Insurance Company sent me the check. When I went to get my car from the shop they did not ask me for the money.Do you think the insurance paid the body shop? What should I do?

In most situations like this, the claims check would be in both your and the body shop's name if their is a lien. If their is no lien then the check would go to you. This is your money, however if the body shop was not paid, you will be billed. If you chosse tnot to apply the check for the repairs then you will still have a bill to the body shop. You should contact the adjuster or body shop to see if there are outstanding bills.
