Answers:
Can you replace a lost sticker registration?
Well, you need to start by specifying the home owner or the truck owner and whose insurance balked. Normally, if a vehicle runs into a building, the liability insurance on the vehicle comes into play and the home owners insurance company negotiates then sues if needed the other insurance company to collect.Any time something like this where house damage occurs (falling tree, undriven vehicle, driven vehicle) a structural assement MUST be done, because paying for superficial repairs and signing off on the job being done ignores broken beams, damage to pipes and to wiring.
This can be an auto insurance claim or it can be a Home Owner's claim. Did you try both companies for imformation?
By the way, how did an improperly PARKED truck run into a home? If it's parked it's not moving!

How dose a lein on a title work?
The owner of pickup is liable for the damage. Have you asked for his or her vehicle insurance info?I'm a little confused, because you say the truck was parked. The auto insurance should pay for the damage, unless the owner was uninsured or underinsured. Then your homeowner policy should kick in. You can still sue them, but if they are running around without insurance...chances are they are broke anyway.
The insurance can balk all they want. You are entitled to a structural assessment. Mention a lawyer and see what happens.
If all else fails, get a lawyer!

I have the same question: how did a parked truck hit the house?Drunk driving and auto collision situation?
If the owner of the truck is responsible for the accident, and if he has liability insurance, his insurance should pay for the damages.
If you have homeowners' insurance, use your own insurance. Chances are you have replacement cost coverage so you won't have to consider depreciation in any settlement.
How much should I expect from a car accident?
If you want to hire a structural engineer, do it. Or find a contractor of your own to prepare an estimate, and he can determine if he needs an engineer. If he does, your insurance and/or the liability insurance will have to pay for it.
Light vehicle damage yet serious injury?
Of course they would balk. Their job is to make you whole and pay for your damages. A structural assessment goes far beyond your damages.Can you drive with a suspended license if u have SR-22 insurance.?
It would be like me demanding my engine be taken apart to see if the rings were affected because you ran into me and might have jarred the engine.
You will only need a structural assessment if the vehicle did MAJOR damage to the load bearing walls and foundation of your house. You need to hold off on any 'engineering student' demands of the insurance company for now. If all your interior doors no longer shut or your windows won't open then it may be time to get an inspector involved.
I am not sure how a parked behicle runs into anything, unless you are saying the brake wasn't set and the vehicle rolled into the house. You claim with your home insurance, they assess the damages, start the repair process, and subrogate against the owner/driver of the vehicle.
