I dealt with the Personal Insurance. Their policy was once one party involved reported to the insurance company. You can't resolve it privately. It will be a permanent record there, even if you pay privately to settle the accident damage. 1 f; s$ F+ S! C: G0 R

9 x' S) B7 P/ q$ jI don't know what your insurance company's policy. By the way, the Personal Insurance is very very poor in claim service. I dealt with them for over ten years, just because my company had a group insurance there. They don't deal with the general public. I am going to switch to another insurance company.

Check with your agent first, not the head office or claim department. Let the other party get the estimate from a certified body shop. If other party is considerate enough, willing to get it fixed at the body shop without making any further claim. Then you have to let him/her to sign the waiver in the written form.

Yes, the party at fault is going to face the insurance premium increase for the next five years. If you have been driving for over 10 years without accident, you may negotiate and have the insurance premium keep the similar level. But for this accident, you just pay the deductible due to your fault. & L: [1 k% s- V( e- o) w

Just take some comfort that you are physically OK. Tomorrow will be another day. You will be able to get through this tough time. Such situation could happen to anyone. Don't be too discouraged. Edmontonian wish you well.... |
