You're lucky the savage had insurance!!! Thank God you weren't injured.

I went through the uninsured game on the 2nd wreck. She had no insurance. I had to make the claim on mine but fortunately it never affected my rates. I'm going to price the new bumper and brackets today.

my g/f got rear ended in her mustang by a celica.

it cracked the bumper,but unless you bend down and get 5 inches from the bumper,you cant see it.
so i touched up the chip,buffed out the scratch,and she threw the $1000 she got on the claim on the principal balance of her car note.

Filed the claim with Progressive this morning, they were great to deal with. Got a call this afternoon and it turns out the coverage on the Taurus that hit me was cancelled by the owner prior to the accident. Progressive is trying to determine if there is other coverage. I am furious. This is the 2nd time I have been hit by an uninsured vehicle.

I have already called the City Prosecutor to have no insurance charges filed. I also called the State Department of Insurance, the courthouse and the Department of Motor Vehicles. I am going to nail them to the wall.

This gets better. Progressive called this afternoon and said they found coverage on the car from an out of state underwriter. They also said they will be covering the claim. Sounds weird to me. So they are coming out tomorrow to give a check for damages but wait there's more.

I washed the truck tonight and was just getting ready to come inside when I decided to get a tape measure and level out. Keep in mind my garage floor is level. The box is pushed 1/4" forward towards the cab on the passenger side. The box is also pushed up 1/2" on the passenger side in the rear. I talked to the body shop who did my Nova and he advised the impact to the receiver likely tweaked the frame. Needless to say I WILL NOT be accepting any check for repairs until I have it looked at by a few shops I trust.

They will tell you to take it one of their shop but you can take it anywhere you want. BUT you will ahve to take it to a shop for them to pay for the full repair, other wise you will only get the money for what they can see is damaged. As for new parts if the truck is current year truck with les than 12,000 miles on it than you will ahve no problem getting GM parts anything over that and will be aftermarket at worst, used at best. If you go with your own ins you will get the same. Just take it to the shop that you want to fix it don't let them tell you that you have to take it to a shop on their program . Unless the shop has a good rep in your area. At best you can demaned used GM parts over the A/M stuff. Just some info for you. And this stuff I am an expert on Coming up on 20 years in the collision field.
