Bound to happen sooner or later

Good luck, Hurst!

 

Nope they might want this years numbers so far or the a years total.
Be carefull going home . They might want to argue with you driving the trk. saying the damage was not that bad then..

 

FYI, Progressive doesn't aggressively pursue the other party to get your deductible back. Going on 2 yrs now, I'm still waiting for my $1k deductible. I got hit in the truck stop parking lot and let Progressive deal with it because I didn't want the hassle. About every 6 mos I get a letter from Progressive letting me know that they haven't collected yet and that they are sending J Bauer another letter...what a joke. I should of at least tried dealing with their ins co myself. I will say that the repair process with Progressive was excellent.

 

Find a shop to have emerg. repair work done before you leave out and send in bill with claim,(looks like steer tire may be damg. from acc.)

 

Sucks that your insurance will go up. Does anyone ever try to recover that cost? It's legitimate, they destroyed your truck but since you filed a claim you are now expensive to insure. I don't know how one would put a number on that but it seems to me the people who cause accidents always get away cheap and easy. I went thru this year's ago in an accident where I was not at fault. Destroyed my hood, it's never been right since even though my insurance paid KW over $10,000 to fix the damages. I too only got net wages which I suppose is fair but it was what they said my net was not what I penciled it out to be. You're never going to recover what these things truly cost you is what it seems like. Even though insurance will cover most damages...

 

Not to rain on an already crappy parade ....

You may not not get paid for the painting of your hood. The insurance adjuster will introduce you to the concept of betterment I.e. They will not pay to fix pre existing damage like dents or bad paint. Just giving you a heads up as it is another battle to fight.

I was hit in a truckstop last August and am still fighting to recover my 5k deductible and 8k downtime. This is with a police report witness and ticket issued

 

So he had a two tone paint job. The hood had paint on it before the accident and should afterwards. I doubt they will say put a new hood on it and leave it as is.

 

Sounding better. Keep us posted. I'd love to know how it pans out.

I'm really sorry if I held anyone up at the fuel island today, I saw a Koch driver in the back parking lot, and just panicked.
