Terrible Service

I was insured with standard bank from when I purchased my car in May 2022. I have been paying my premiums on time, efficiently without fail. In the early morning of December 24th 2022, I was involved in an accident where my car got damaged badly. I have reports from the relevant officials proving that I was not at fault and indeed was not a reckless driver. I immediately made a claim to my insurance and to date, I have not been properly assisted. There are too many back and forth with my case, and my assumption is that they do not want to cover me, even though I was paying my insurance. I have stopped paying my premiums in April because I do not understand what I am paying for. Standard bank’s slogan is “moving forward”, but they have not delivered on that as my case has been stagnant for almost 6 months. I have high stress levels and slowly falling into depression. I do not have means of getting to work and have been inconvenienced in every way possible. Till date, Standard bank has not attended to me with a robust way forward. I need help!! Standard bank has let me down.

This is an update on the service of my insurance. Till date, I still haven't been helped. They keep saying that they will call me once they have reached a conclusion. 6 months later, I still haven't been given a robust way forward.
I have decided to fix my car at my own expense, which is sad really cause standard bank was supposed to cover me. They should just be honest and tell me that they won't cover me instead of this whole back and forth.
Can someone please advise if it would be viable to involve lawyers in this matter? I need standard bank to reimburse me the full costs of fixing my car. I have never missed a single day of my premiums, I really don't deserve this.
