You know it's going to be a bad day when
 

I got a call from my nieghbor at work today. The garbage truck was backing down my street.....took out the left side of my baby. Maybe Casper is right.

After readnig this and the other damage thread, I'm calling my agent and lowering my deductible!

Sorry to hear about that.:mad:

The trash company is paying for the repairs and a rental...ugh a PT (province town) cruiser

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, Nightrider. Just when you think your car is safe on your street, a truck damages it. I know I would have been pissed. All part of life I guess.

I'm all out of parking spaces at my house (18 cars) so my cool neighbor lets me park my SRT in his driveway so it won't be on the street.

How cool is he!?!?!?!

That sucks!! Hopefully they can get it fixed up quick for you. Mine stays safe in the garage...

Fun, yours never leaves the garage. GEICO is giving me all kinds of crap and no help. They tell me to bring it to a body shop, pay the deductible and then they will help me collect the money from the trucking company. If I don't do that then I haven't exhausted all my legal means before going after them. The owner of the truck insurance company is mre helpful than GEICO. They said they'd pay full damages at the body shop of my choice plus rental re-imbursement (no injuries were invloved). By an untrained eye (mine) it looks like it is only left door, windshield support moulding and front fender, maybe the hood. I definitely will let expert appraisers handle that end.

With no structural damage and repairs done at a very good Chyrsler dealer, how bad will this screw me on resale value when someone checks CARFAX?

Nightrider, Sorry to here what happen! I have heard many stories about Geico doing nothing until you pay up first. Try and run it through the trucking company and keep Geico out of it. Best of luck getting it repaired.

Night, that sucks seriously!:(
Any pics. of the damage?

Re: You know it's going to be a bad day when
 

carfax won't know if you let the trucking co take care of it...not everything gets reported that isn't a chargeable accident...if someone bumps you, pays for it, you get it fixed...no accident report by police, no investigation by insurance co...no paper trail....

I''ll post a pic when I get home from work. The only picture I wanted to see last night was a pitcher of Sam Adams, Thanx for all your help and condolences.

Re: You know it's going to be a bad day when
 

Sorry about the mishap...It sounds as if the trucking company is trying to do the right thing. I would get a different insurance company...You pay them for this type of problem and IMHO...they should not question it they should just do what their supposed to do...Pay!!! I hate insurance companies!!!
