I think that was the problem with my first accident that was a non fault. I spent too much time on the phone in the middle and since my other car was not that reliable then I was depended on the rental car the guys insurance was paying for and they constantly threatened to take it away.
The second time around I had prepared a compliant to send to the guys insurance and to the BBB. I had given them 2 weeks before I would post it to the BBB and email it to the insurance company.

Old Mechanic, sounds like the insurance company may of paid yours family out more than you paid them in premiums? My first accident in the end I think came to 6 grand and the rental car for 3 months was like 2 grand. The state police estimated the damaged to 250 bucks from the looks of the bumper and lam being broken.
My second accident was 2500, 500 more than a non insurance sponsored shop quotes too. Rental car was for a week.
Yes, it seems the idea behind insurance is that you "can" avoid an accident. To some extent that is true and you can make the out come of many situations in your favor. 
If you act like you don't need the money and will play it to the hilt, no matter how long it takes, your claim will reap maximum benefit. |
