Out For The Count !

  • [size=1.45em]
    Well if you haven't heard, I was in an accident a week ago. I was hit on
    Dec 2nd on Rt-4 at 4:41PM. A lady without her headlights on, hit me at
    dusk. She wasn't visible to me as I made a left hand turn. The Jeep is
    totaled. The whole front of the frame is twisted. At least I was not hurt
    and neither was the other driver

    This was after I spent over a week at Aaron's garage, 1800 dollars and
    many late nights helping Aaron put a 4.0L AX-15 in her. I'm pissed off to
    say the least. I might as well have flushed that money right down the toilet.
    By By ! !


    I was told you can't split insurance on two vehicles on the same policy
    meaning you have to have the same coverage on both vehicles. I thought
    I had full coverageon the Jeep. Now that they may have to pay out they
    are saying Nope. I know when the insurance company totals it, it will be
    worth 1/4 of the actual value. I will try to buy it back to part it out. In
    Delaware, if you . . .


    are 50% at fault or less
    your total damages are less then the other drivers total damages
    the other drivers insurance will pay your vehicle out
    even if you only have liability insurance.[/size]

    This is my only chance to get a payout. [/size]

    It's definitely not drivable or fixable. I don't have the money to get another
    Jeep to swap over any parts so the unthinkable is on the table, she is being
    parted out. I will be posting up what's available and prices for the parts when
    the insurance companies decided what is going on. All parts are First come,
    First served.



    I just landed a new job and have no wheels to get to work. The wife and I
    are sharing the family vehicle so it's a real inconvenience. My cell phone was
    my work phone which they took back. I no longer have a cell until I start my
    new job on Thursday. They will be giving me a new work phone once I start.
    Looks like at this point I will be out of commission for quite awhile. I need to
    concentrate on my new Job and finding a new DD.



    I will be posting up lots of parts for sale, soon, when the insurance [/size]
    [size=1.45em]companies finalize the accident.

    There is nothing that can't be fixed if you throw enough money at it,

  • although you may not be able to switch to a new insurance company any time soon, you CAN have different coverage plans on different vehicles. I'm with Allstate and I had liablility-only on my XJ and full coverage on my Charger with the same policy. Glad you're alright though :)

    Indeed I wasn't sure if I read that correctly. I have 3 vehicles on my Travelers policy only one has full coverage. The other two are liability only.

    Sounds like :bsflag: to me. I have liability on my truck and Jeep and full coverage on the other Jeep and Civic. Find out if that is something unique to your poiicy only (make them show it to you in writing). Sounds like they are trying to get out of something.
