Hit and Run last night--fine but annoyed
-
Has your insurance guy been notified?
-
Yes but the app asked if I wanted my insurance or his to handle it, assuring me I could change my mind later. I stupidly said his. Now there is no way in the app to change this and the office has been closed all weekend, so I have to call tomorrow. I've left messages, but really need to talk to a person.
-
Ugh. Insurance by apps is a problem.
Time to start working toward talking to a human.
-
Glad you're ok, but yeah...I've been advised to just have your insurance company deal with damages...and make going after the offender your insurance companies problem. People that drive irresponsibly are often the same type that have [outdated] legal minimums for insurance if any. Makes resolving this stuff that much more a hassle.
-
Yeah--I agree with this advice. I wasn't thinking clearly.
Update--was able to talk to a human this am and my insurance co is sending out an inspector tomorrow. So I think I'm good

@rustyfingers that sounds like a good development!
Good luck!

Insurance is covering the repair and waiving the deductible. Now I have to choose a body shop. There is such a thing as a Toyota Certified Collision repair shop, which does NOT include all Toyota dealers. There is also a network of body shops in my insurance company's network, but they haven't given me the list yet. Since the car is still under all the warrantees, I'm thinking of talking it to the dealer where I bought it which IS a Toyota certified collision shop but is NOT in the insurance network. Open to advice here.
-
Will insurance pay a shop that isn’t in the network?
-
Yes by law I can choose any shop I want
