    Great job on the auto portion of the claim. Do not sign a medical waiver for AT LEAST a year. My problems did not start showing up for 6 months. Congrats, hope you get your car back on the road quick.

    Great news, they knew that they didn't have a leg to stand on, it is a lesson to us all not to take any ##@% from the insurance companies, I take delight in making them pay the full amount.   :money:

    Claim Settled!!!!! :money: :money:
    $20,000 on its way here and i keep the car! :woohoo:
    thanks for all the support.
    i had to call the trucking company and tell them that a good friend works at our local new station and  wants to do a storie about companys pushing their drivers to hard and they wanted to interview me! about a hour later i got a call from the insurance offering the money i requested. which to me is a reasonable amount.
    thanks
    again

    I'm really happy you got a settlement that you are happy with. Now I'm going to make a prediction. This car will never get fixed. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd bet I'm not.  :2cents:

    the car is not near as bad as i was putting it out to be. i wasnt sure if the insurance was watching. my trunk floor is perfect. $300 to rent the frame rack for a day and most of it will be stright. and then primer and the trim peices and tail light buckets and the dodge emblems and its better than the accident. im thinking i like the white better than the deep silver poly  and challenger gary is working on making a 71 r/t stripe with 340 instead of r/t, we will see how it turns out.

     :dunno: Are you simpithizing with the Insurance company here?? They have every right to inspect a car before they pay out so I don't see the problem.

    A few years back I saw a survery where over 1/3rd of the respondents thought it was perfectly fine to "overstate" the value of a claim against an insurance company.      :clueless:

    Just proves the point why body shops would rather do Ins. jobs than resto's.
    The money is great and the parts and work aren't prolonged with a one time payout.

    As an ex panel shop manager I can assure you that the insurance companies screw everybody, customer and panel shops. The only good thing now days at least here in Australia is that the insurance will pay the panel shop within 48 hrs of the job being finished and there is regular work coming all the time.   :money:  Private jobs are usually a hassle as the customer wants a top shelf job done but only prepared to pay bargain basement prices so those jobs are fitted in around regular work to help keep the price down for them. There are dedicated panel shops for classics but you have to be careful to find the right one.   :bigsmile:
