Re: Insurance Claim Help Wanted

I am sorry to hear of your mishap Don; hope that you are "OK."  Thank you for reaching out to us, although your Attorney/Insurance Carrier and other professional resources would be your best avenue for advice.  That being said, your insurance coverage may give you leverage if your Durango was insured for Collision & Comprehensive.  Another "plus" in your favor would be the "medical" angle.  If you sustained real/verifiable injury of any sort, the person & their insurance company are on the hook for MUCH more than the real value of your Durango.  This is very good leverage that can dramatically increase the value of your claim; and I know you are not wanting more than you are due but sadly, owning up to liability these days isn't the honest restitution it used to be.  Offending parties shirk their responsibility so we hope that justice is served and an amicable outcome in your favor is realized.

Subject: Insurance Claim Help Wanted

My 2006 Durango that I use going to use to tow my 1965 Belevedere to the drag strip was hit and totaled - other person at fault. They offered $4,600 (an increase of $500 over the first offer), I paid $5,700 PLUS all the taxes, fees and other stuff, then spent another $1,000 on electrical and emissions repairs so I could get it licensed for a total of $8,300 invested in this vehicle. Only had the car four months and put maybe 2,500 miles on it.

 

I am going to get a letter written by an Attorney to try to pry more out of them but I feel I have no leverage to get more for the vehicle. Any suggestions or experiences in getting more? Medical is a separate issue.
