I'm just glad you're ok. It's only money, but you can't put a value on your health. Believe me.

And I'm going to let you in on an industry secret: be nice to those handling your claim. They didn't cause your accident. Being mad at them "taking the hardline" because of someone else's fault is not going to serve your best interests. You can be firm, but nice and polite at the same time, and doing so you will probably find you can get better results (*because 9 out of 10 people that call them are 110% ballistic). The ins company is not your enemy in this case. Just keep that in mind when dealing with them. --kC |

I don't plan on being mean, no likes @$$ holes. As I've read online, be firm, but polite. I only say 'stick to the hardline' meaning not let them low ball me. Last edited by Tat2Neil; 11-26-2013 at 11:10 AM. |

Sad to see the snow birds consume another victim.
I live in AZ as well. Surprise to be exact. I live just outside of Sun City (home of the snow birds) They are ALWAYS causing accidents. For those of you who don't live in AZ, your license essentially never expires. Mine is good until I am 65. A lot changes in 40 years. I still think people over a certain age need to take retests annually. I was at the optometrist the other week, I am near sighted, my vision of seeing things far away is horrible. The optometrist showed me the legal distance you have to see in order to operate a vehicle and it was sad. It was sickening because it was probably 25-50 feet. They say in the driving manual that you need to keep your eyes looking at least 600 feet ahead of you at all times, but you only need to be able to see 50 feet in front of you to drive? That doesn't add up.. Sorry for your loss neil, I hope AZ cracks down on these old folk. |

Find out what the buy back price for the car is after they total it. If it's less than what you spent on mods and work, take the car back and swap that into another body. All the important mechanicals of the car were spared in the accident, so you know they're in good shape. Find a WRX with a blown motor or shredded transmission and do the swap. With your wreck as the donor you could rent an engine lift and do the swap in a weekend.

See a real doctor. If you have a neck or spine injury, you're talking money. I broke a finger, surgery, couple pins, pin removal, hand therapy. You could say $30k and I would just laugh because that's the down payment. I've had back problems in the past and they make my finger surgery look like quarters in the parking meter. Stop worrying about your car and worry about you. |

Be real careful what you say on a public forum, don't give the other party's insurance people any information they can and will use in ways that benefit only them. They are smart enough to know a WRX driver may be telling things on a WRX forum. Tell us all about it after it is totally done.
Good luck, they will screw you in any way they can, it's "only business" they will say. Insurance companies and drug companies own the legal system and the people we elect to run it. |
