What is the name of your state?Illinois
I had asked a question yesterday about my rearending someone and what chances I have of contesting the ticket I got, as the driver in front of me jammed his brakes suddenly. Thanks jpritchett81 for your reply.
Now I have a follow-up question on that. A guy came from my insurance agency to estimate the cost of repairs (an adjustor?, i dont remember) and looked at the damages. Then he told me something that I did not know till now. He said that if the repairs cost more than the value of the car, the insurace company would pay me some money and take my car away. What? what is this now? will I have to forego my car if the repairs cost more? This might be a very basic question, but since I have never been in an accident before, I know nothing of these basics. Can someone please enlighten me on this as I can't have my car taken away as I wont be able to go to work without it. Please help....
Thanks.
