xxjiggaxx Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 i got into an accident this morning. Traffic was coming to a halt and i stopped in time and didn't hit the guy in front of me but 2 seconds after i stopped i felt a bump. The guy behind me (in a ford no doubt) couldn’t stop in time. All i thought was shit! We exchanged info and i was on my way. I had a dr's apt and a dentist apt to go to. so when i got home i called his insurance company to file a claim. To my surprise he had already called them and told them that he was at fault. They told me i could make an appointment to drop off my truck for repairs at their preferred shop or go to my own. So i am dropping off my truck in the morning at their building. It doesn't look bad at all, from what i could tell, just a few scratches, and the support bracket was bent. So far i am very impressed with his insurance company (progressive) I expected it to be at least a few days before they would even look at it, not the next day, I could have even taken it in today if i wanted to. I will try to get some pics later and post them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmax Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well glad all is ok. I swear some people should have to have a license in order to be able to get a license. at least he was honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 ... All i thought was shit! ... SHIT! Well it could have been worse, glad to hear you are ok and it is getting taken care of.

Texas_Veteran Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 At least that guy was honest. He made a mistake, is owning up to it and doing the right thing. Hope that everything is taken care of for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxjiggaxx Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 i'm glad he was honest too. If you make a mistake fess up to it, it's better in the long run and you dont seem like an ass when people find out the thuth. i always try to be honest. I was in an accident, that wasn't my fault (she pulled out in front of me) in my first truck and she tried it say that I ran a red light. I don't see any obvious damage to the bed, but you never know what could be under the truck. I'm just surprised its going so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadowns Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 "Progressive" I had a similar experience and had to round and round to get it fixed right with progressive. It was about $2000 for the rear repair CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerda Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi any reason you choose their (insurance) preferred shop rather than go to you own? DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red00lght Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 That wouldn't happen in Miami. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Someone just hit my truck last week down near MIA airport and of course didn't leave a note or anything. I park miles away from everyone too. Really pisses me off. The truck was basically scratch free and had just been zaino'd. On the bright side, they hit my rear bumper leaving some good scratches on the corner, which may give me a great excuse to install the rollpan!
