More awesome news.. The other drivers insurance policy isn't enough to cover it. They won't even pay for a rental until they get the estimated cost of everything (including the pole). I'm considering a lawyer...
Don't bother with a lawyer. Subrogation with your insurance carrier is the name of the game. Let them deal with the legal issues. That's part of what you pay them for.
And that's why I have uninsured/underinsured coverage. Do you have it?More awesome news.. The other drivers insurance policy isn't enough to cover it. They won't even pay for a rental until they get the estimated cost of everything (including the pole). I'm considering a lawyer...
Our insurance is covering the truck under collision. I don't understand what the difference in doing that and having uninsured/underinsured coverage. I think maybe it varies by state. But either way, the truck will be covered. The problem is getting a rental. They have USAA. I called today and the adjuster said that the maximum that their policy covers is less than the truck is worth. Considering there was damage to the pole too, they have to wait until they get estimates on everything before they will pay for anything. What I don't understand is how a rental car is included in that. I was under the impression that a rental car was completely separate and they are supposed to provide you with one once fault is decided.

Do you not have your own rental coverage insurance? Your insurance company should be able to hook you up with a rental vehicle immediately and then deal with getting it covered from the at fault party's insurance.
This was high speed. Possibly slower than 50 mph from breaking. It was also drizzling outside. This is the car we hit
Pic rotated. :\ That should buff out. ^_^
I love some of the ebay listings I come across, like oh, a BRZ for 13000, then you see the other side of the car in the listing and it looks something like this.
Yes. We want an update. You can't start a story like this and not finish it. It's . . . just mean.who was at fault ?
If you had hit that car on the drivers side, you could have killed the driver . I did a lot of accident investions as part of my job . You teeboned the other car under a green light ? unless the other driver had ran a red light to him , I don't see how ? I have dash cams , this is why .
