Hey all, a girl in a Jeep rear ended me while at a red light. Bumper and lift gate need to be replaced. Car is still drivable. I am going through her insurance company, New Jersey Manufacturers. Ive never been in an accident or had to file a claim, so any help is greatly appreciated.
The body shop said that parts may take a couple months to come in, and the repair will take 3 weeks. During those 3 weeks, I will obviously not be able to drive my P85D which I am making payments on. Instead, the insurance company wants to give me a Nissan or something. I don’t think this is acceptable, and I feel entitled to an Enterprise Tesla as I don’t want to pay for fuel. Is this possible in New Jersey?
Also, now that the car has an accident reported on Car Fax, the value of the car is lower. How do I go about making a claim for diminished value? Does anyone have experience in this area?
I really appreciate any advice/help that I can receive. Thank you!
