Everybody's already put in pretty much the right info. DO NOT accept that offer.
I've been in this position a few times now. Their client damaged your property. They are responsible for just compensation. You have a second vehicle, you have time. You don't need rental car coverage, but you do need for your car to be repaired PROPERLY, and to your satisfaction. If you have the time, you have the upper hand. Be a pain in their backsides, be stubborn. Do not be belligerent. You are not obligated to accept their offer. If you can wait 'em out, you have the upper hand. Sooner or later they will have pressure to clear their case, and will settle with you on your terms. Get some quotes from GOOD body shops in your area for a full and complete repair. Don't pad it, but don't cheap out either. Give them (the insurance company) a copy of that estimate. I don't think you mentioned it, but what insurance company are you dealing with?? -Josh2 |
