It doesn't matter to me if the insurance company doesn't pursue her. I am not interested in punishing her, I just wan't my car fixed. Hopefully her own damage, which will not be covered by her insurance, will help to change her behavior. Hard to say, she was 18 so will it result in lasting behavior modification, I doubt it, but we can hope.
I rear ended another driver when I was 17, haven't had another wreck since.
Her brother was offering to pay for the repairs He clearly had no idea what the cost was, he was probably only 25 and was wearing a uniform from a retail sales chain. I think I can get the deductible from him with out much drama, I plan on calling him tomorrow.
What I'm getting at is if you bring an action in your name for the deductible, the insurance company may want to tag along or they may want to conduct the claim using a right of subrogation.
Okay, I get it, thanks for the information. I will try to get the deductible without a claim. If I have to file a claim, I will try to go for DV as well.
I appreciate the input.
i wont go into all of our dv details but i can say we asked for 8k and got an offer for 6k. So going to work on something agreeable to me and our ins co. This was on a 65k german suv w 14k damage. Rear ended. So yes you can pursue a dvclaim in tx. Gl
Please keep us posted with how the repairs progress and turn out. Did they also remove your side skirts too? I can't tell if they did or not in the second picture?
Real sad to see it like that. I was rear ended twice in my S550e in NYC, both times were cabs. The damages both were light but still over $12k each. It's really a bad situation to be in... Hope to see her up and running soon.
