Question by Sup!:
The Automobile insurance company gave me a low estimate on repairs?
Long story short. Not my fault. I can not take this up with my insurance company because I do not have one. We got his info. My automobile has 140K miles on it. It’s worth about 2K. It would not be worth it to fix it. I decided to get the estimate and put the cash to another car. I have not signed anything yet.

Insurance Company Quoted $ 1013.76
Auto Body Shop $ 1162.04
Ford Dealership $ 1284.90

271.14 difference. I asked to split the difference between the auto body shop and the Ford dealership. The Insurance compnay ofcourse stated no. What should I do? If I had gone to an auto body repair shop of my choice with 1013.76 in hand they would have called the insurance compnay and asked for them to kick down more money. So I think it’s fair that I get more cash. Do not even get me started on the medical. My health insurance is getting billed. Not the insurance company.
The guy backed into my automobile when it was parked. I was not driving it. It was parked to sell it. My BF and I were sitting in the automobile out of the rain writting out a new for sale sign. My bf drove around after the accident and the automobile vibrated like crazy. The insurance company did not even check the alignment or add it to the estimate. The estimates do not even include the alignment so there could be more damage.
The medical people are refusing to bill the insurance company responsible. They wanted me to pay up front and get rembursed later or have some other insurance cover it. I did not want to wait I had torn musle in my neck, out of alignment and my BF has the same. Any way I can get the Automobile insurance company billed?
They want me to sign the estimate papers but I do not plan on it. If I do I will not cash the check.
