Thanks FullAuto! So what are the odds the estimator will be willing to cut *me* (not the shop) a check for anywhere near the estimate I got (at one if their shops).
Maybe I'm an weirdo but 1O years ago I was smacked HARD by an old lady. Bad, bad wreck. Again both State Farm customers. I am kinda old school and reasonable in my opinion. All I wanted was my totalled, nearly new vehicle paid for and a couple days pay for missing work. I actually was injured in that wreck (only one to walk away tho) but was not going to make a big deal of it.
They lowballed me on my vehicle so I pitched a ***** fest and they ended up cutting me a check for roughly 10 times what I originally wanted because they were afraid I'd lawyer up and it was an egregious accident (a lawyer could have ran wild with that one). 10 times what I would have accepted had they not been so miserly initially. I thought that was so dumb. Why not just treat me fair and save a lot of money? That's literally all I wanted.
I know so many wimpy folks from all walks of life that view car accidents as the lottery and basically rack up fraudulent medical BS. You think they'd be glad to deal with a good 'ol redneck who just wants his junk paid for.
I've been extra nice to them all so far and plan to continue to be. I will be more than persistent if they fiddle fawk me, tho.
