Help, tough time getting my 850 fixed 850 1996

Sorry to post again on the same issue. First, I would like to thank all of you that replied. For what happended to me please see the post with same subject on this page.

I have decided to fight the case. However, a quick call to the insurance company indicated that I was denied of the claim was because of "altered original equipment." No more details were given to me as the people from the inspection department were not available.

I am speculating they are denying my claim because I have 205/55/-16 tires on the 16 wheel, which is different from the original 205/50/16 tires on these wheels. I do not believe that the slightly taller tires could have caused the severe damage to the front suspension system. The damage was from the rough road servicearound where I live, a cause that's covered by the particular policy I purchased.


My questions are as follows:
1. Am I still on the legal groud to fight this case, based on their claim that my car has been "altered" ?

2. Anyone had any success in fighting these "warranty claim" cases? If so, do you know of any good lawyers in the NY area?

thank you very much for helping out
Olson
