Guess we won't see our car until after the new year...
Category Everything Else
We have a vacation planned later this month, and I was hoping that we'd be able to drive/train/...bus... up to get the car before we left. After checking with the body shop today, no such luck. The frame is bent, the parts need to be ordered, so on and so on. It's all legit stuff, but it's just going to take awhile. On top of the body work, there's some engine damage, the extent of which won't be fully known until after the body is taken care of and the car is transferred over to the Chrysler dealership up in Everett.
I'm glad we have insurance...
I *am* a little less-than-thrilled with the claims adjuster so far. When I first talked with him, he went on about how hard it is to assign blame in a multi-car accident, how long it will take to sort that out, how difficult it is to recover the monies, etc. I'm sorry, but my Thanksgiving sucked too! I also asked him today about reimbursement for my deductible, rental car, and transportation from the other insurance company once they get it sorted out. He said they'd submit those costs when they went about getting their charges back, but they really couldn't force anything. Huh?
I'll let it all play out, but depending on the outcome, it might be time to reexamine our insurance company options...
