T-Boned in a Shopping Center

the thing is, I got rear ended twice, on the same day of each calendar year. My S suffer from diminish values significantly, make sure you go after the insurance for diminish value compensation.

I plan to do just that! Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance (never been in accident with another car where I involved the insurance), isn't the insurance claim on the car driver at fault's insurance not your insurance? Or when you mentioned Liberty Mutual was that other guys insurance you were talking about?

Seeing the apparently superficial damage, knowing that something much worse could be hiding out of sight, and knowing the complications involved in repairing an "X", I would also definitely press for having the vehicle totaled. And you can even get AP 2.0 right away: Model X 75D 5YJXCAE25GF022898 | Tesla

Why would the insurance company want to total a ~$100k car that only has $20k worth of damages?

Have you gotten any idea from the repair shop as to time for repair?? Reading posts from folks here indicates it takes weeks to get parts. The first thought that came to my mind was that my insurance only pays for 30 days of rental, then I have to pick up the tab. I fortunately have a second car, so Id just return the rental and eat the rest, but it concerns me that some folks dont have that option. It sounds like your car could be in the shop for months potentially.

My company is going to submit the claim against the other driver's insurance company for all expenses, including total car rental costs even if it exceeds 30 days.

I'm not eating anything! Insurance is supposed to make you whole again! I'm also going to sue the guy for loss of value!

Travelers Insurance covers the other driver. They are going to pay my expenses as well, since he was clearly at fault!
(I have dashcam video to prove it!)

Hopefully it won't be a painstaking process! Can you share the video?

Sorry to see that.
Glad you are ok. Good luck with the insurance process. It can be a total pain sometimes.
4 weeks is a dream. I say at least 2-3 months until you get your car back.

Glad you are okay.

I'd rather not share it on this forum. Just glad that I had Blackvues front and rear!!
