What you can do will depend on your state. Get a lawyer because the insurance company is going to try to screw you anyway possible. If you still want to keep your truck refuse to let them buy it for "total" price. Just because a vehicle is totaled doesnt mean they get to have it when they cut a check for it. I would tell them their customer broke it so he bought it for your asking price. If they dont want to buy it they can pay to fix it. While your at it I would try to also collect for loss of use on the truck and I would store the truck at a friends house and charge storage fees (15 a day).

Keith, another good contact to get ahold of for NOS parts would be that vendor in Arizona Ricks pickup parts. They do a lot of show quality restorations for customers, and they are finicky about correct parts.
I guess they must be banned because their name came out all ***** when I posted. Last edited by dtlilly; 06-08-2005 at 12:48 AM. |

I had a similar incident several months ago, and I also have State Farm. A hail storm came thru here that had SOFTBALL sized chuncks raining down. The adjuster took one look at my 72 and told me it was totaled, and wanted to give me 800.00. I told him to look a little closer at the policy and see what the stated value was. To make a week long ordeal short, they cut me the check for the stated value minus the 138.00 I had to pay them for the remains ( with new BBC and th4000) , so while it was a pain, it all worked out in the end. Just go in there with pics of comparable trucks and whatever receipts you have and you should be o.k..

Hey Keith,
What type of car was it? I got the info you asked me for I just want to make sure it's the same. Do you have the officer's name? If if happened in Murfreesboro I know a few officers down there and could probably talk to them for you. Let me know this stuff

Keith, one more thing I just thought of - I have a cousin that's a Tennessee State Trooper out of Murfreesboro. I'll probably being seeing him this weekend as we have a family reunion to attend on Saturday. If there is anything you need me to ask him, or if this happened in his area let me know if you need any help. Most state troopers can be an a$$ but my cousin isn't one of them like that. If I can help bro' let me know.
Robert

Is your insurance going to have to pay? Unless the person who hit you doesn't have any insurance (that's what uninsured motorist coverage is for), I'd wait and see if I couldn't make whoever hit you's insurance company pay up.

If they TOTAL a vehicle, they pay you an agreed price and then they own the vehicle. They then sell the vehicle for salvage. You then take the money and either buy a replacement vehicle, or do whatever you want with the money. If they TOTAL a vehicle, and you choose to keep the vehicle, they pay you the agreed amount - salvage value. Again you can do whatever you want with the money you receive. Either way the insurance company is out the same amount of money. You don't receive the value of the vehicle PLUS the vehicle. Now if a vehicle isn't totaled, they pay the cost of repairs less any deductible or betterment. Betterment is if you had a 10 year old faded scratched paint job and due to body damage the car needs to be repainted, your vehicle would be worth more after it is repaired so they can deduct a percentage of the repair costs due to this. It pays to know what your policy covers, I felt like I got bent over because of this betterment clause. I HIGHLY recommend everyone check their polcicies and make sure it covers what you want it to cover. Hope this info helps someone Chris

Hi Keith,
I talked with my cousin yesterday (the Tennessee state trooper) and he said that he called you but just got an answering machine. Give him a call when you get a chance. PM me if you need his phone #. Robert

man i love the connections available through this board. the locals gave me such a run around i ended up cussing out the lady in the sheriffs office (it wasnt pretty) so then yesterday (monday 6/14) i left their at 4pm and called roberty's cousin the trooper and explained what lazy worthless people the local police have been and he took all the info and said he was going to try and unscrew it up. anyway he calls back at 10:30 pm and says he arrested the illegal mexican b@stard and was transporting him to jail as well as having his car towed to the impound lot. awesome huh! a million thanks to ROBERTY!
thanks keith
