What is the name of your state?Florida
My wife and I were recently involved in an auto accident.
The other driver was clearly at fault and was cited for the accident. Basically, she ran through a 4 way stop sign and broadsided us. There was in excess of $6K damage to a new vehicle less than 2 weeks old with less than 400 miles on it.
The other driver and I use the same insurance company; although I am filing through her adjuster. Obviously the insurance company is leaning towards repairing the vehicle. Am I within my rights to insist that this vehicle be replaced with a new one? I have heard that vehicled with this much damage are never the same after repair and that much of it's value may be lost as a result of this occurance.
