At least this wasn't our 2018 Countryman... Silver linings and all that...

 

That stinks. What was the person's excuse?

 

Driving while distracted? LOL! The driver was pretty young, but at least he knew it was their fault right away (and there happened to be a Fire Chief in the vehicle behind him)...

It's been a while since I have been in a car accident! Probably 10 years!

 

 

 

I have been hit twice over the years once in the side by a driver with 6 others who pulled out of the side road by a School on his first day with his license and the car his parents bought him.

Anyway then you spend countless hours working with their crap insurance company (because you have a good agent a good company, but they hit you). FYI the General is more of a Corporal in my book. So allot of you time wasted for something that is not you fault.

FYI, I hope they don’t total her out.

 

I'm sorry for your troubles, but it's a known fact that nobody likes Sheldon and will take any opportunity to smack him...

 

Me too! I am still waiting back from the adjuster (took pics of the damage yesterday) and it's taking a little longer than I was first told to get back to me after that, so that's making me nervous! Luckily, I have USAA, which has been handling everything so far (the other insurance company called me yesterday and I answered a few questions, but basically told them to talk to my insurance)... Luckily, in that conversation, I learned the other driver admitted fault (which it was, but nice that his story didn't change), so at least it won't be a battle that way...

Once the adjuster gets back to me (and hopefully tells me I can move forward with fixing it), I was wanting to take it to our local Mini shop for them to look at the damage... I don't know if they have a body shop, but at the least, hopefully they could recommend me to one they use...



LOL! You're not wrong...

 

The present truck I bought my wife had only 500 miles on the clock when, at an on ramp waiting for the green light, some lady trying to get her fallen cell phone hit the car in front of her, who hit the car in front of him, who hit then car in front him, who hit my her back end. One heck of a accident.

You said you have USAA, and this is good. They took very excellent care of us. We had the police report, sent it to them, and before we knew it, the truck was repaired as good as new ... except of our knowledge that it happened. The made a bad experience (with one pissed off wife) .. good. It is a Nissan Frontier, and they, USAA, sent me to a body shop that specialize in Nissans, and had guarantees for the repairs.

 

Man, those chain reaction accidents are the worst! Nothing you can do!

Good to hear about your experience with USAA! I have had them for about 12 years now, and they have been awesome! I have never had to use them for an accident claim (the accident I had about 10 years ago was in a company car), so this will be my first experience for that, but everything else I have used them for, they have been amazing to deal with!
