undefinedWhat is the name of your state? CA
I an just wondering how the insurance company's can do so much damage to a person's life and get away with it. My vehicle was legally parked in front of my place of employment, when it was backed into and pushed into another vehicle. It took them 2 weeks to contact me and then another week or so to get an adjuster to come and look at the vehicle. I told the adjuster that I had rebuilt the engine and saw him mark it down. The insurance person stated that they would only offer me 257.00 to take the car off my hands. I just about had a heartattach. The estimate to repair the vehicle is a little over 1300.00. The repair shop states that this should not total the vehicle. Most of the damage is mostly cosmetic, however, I was to paint and do the interior this year to complete the restore. They had since upped the offer to 875.00. I then began to ask for documentation of how they were calculating their offer, she faxed me 3 pages of information. The mileage was incorrect, the engine was listed as fair, the zip code was incorrect. The mileage they has stated that in 3 months I had but 15K on my vehicle, for which I may drive in a year. I have sent them the most recent smog which proves that the engine is in perfect mechanical condiditon. They state that would only bring the offer lower. How can that be? I hope that someone out there can give me some answers to assist in bringing this nightmare to an end.
