An update from a thread I started a few days ago.
I had an accident one week ago, and I thought my car would be repaired even though the damage was considerable. Got my settlement today and they paid me over $28K for my total loss, much more than I expected frankly. They told me if the airbags deployed (they did) it would most likely be a total loss.
I looked through the claim paperwork and the adjuster estimated repairs would have cost a little over $13K.
I am at a loss to understand why they didn’t elect repair the car? I’m grateful at how they handled my claim and the generous settlement, but they could have spent much less with the repair, and I could have avoided buying a new car for well over $40K?
