This should be covered under you uninsured/underinsured I would think. They cant not pay on something, why even have insurance then. I would push back on them and not stand for this. Insurance companies always try to get off easy when you try to file a claim.
I might cry....
Well as you all probably have read, I have had my ford escape 2001 XLS for 2 weeks. It's the V6 and I love her.
Today i was driving and happened to be exiting a road when an idiot happened to SIDE SWIPE me, creating a huge scratch along 2 of my doors (passenger side). Insurance will not cover it (on my side) and the other person ran off aka hit and run.
The damage is basically... on the passanger side door is a small ding/dent, and a semi-deep scrape along 2 doors. The plastic shielding at the bottom is scrapped, all the way along (2 peices + 2 small end peices). My rim has a scratch but thats MINOR. Tire is okay.
So basically, small dent, 4 plastic peices and door paint = how much? I don't know.
I am so upset I could cry, It;s barely visible to some but to me it's the end of the world! My poor girl, tomorrow i will take her for estimates, i can't stand to see her like this.
Dramatic? Yes. I don't care. I love my ford escape. With xmas coming money is tight, do any of you dearest ford escape lovers know what the afforementioned might cost me? Just in theory not exacty and without photos?
( I will post before + after later)
Thanks........... ;(
