Quoting opal10161973:Is that the amount AFTER the deductible? If the deductible is $500, then that is right. She would be responsible for the first $500 and they would be responsible for the amount after that.
You should never deal with the other guys insurance company directly. You call YOUR insurance company and provide them with police reports, then they contact the other insurance company and work on your behalf. Why are you doing this yourself? Of course they will screw you.

If her insurance company has not been alerted to the damage, then who is going to fight for her rights in this one? THEY are the ones who should be arguing with the other insurance comapny and you shouldn't have to do a thing. I hope a police report was filed.
Quoting Mommytotwins44:
there is no deductable i think. the insurance company of the milk truck is responsible for all repair. the insurance is who was responsible for the company trucks. that is the way i understand it.

That is what I would do. I have always worked with my insurance company because they will give me advice on how to get through it with the most funds. They can act as your advocate. I had an accident (someone slid into my rear in the snow) and I never dealt with their insurance.

She should call the insurance company of the milk truck that hit her. If it is not her fault, there should be no deductible. The deductible only applies if you go through your own insurance company. We were hit a couple of days ago in a parking lot. The insurance company of the person who hit us has to pay for everything. If you can't locate the insurance company representing the milk truck, then your insurance company will pay if you have full coverage and you have to pay the deductible.
There have been times when the actual repair costs are higher than the estimate.
The garage where the repair is being made will then call the insurance and try to work it out. The other thing that can enter the picture is the value of the car. If the estimate is within a certain percentage of the value of the car, they will "total" the car and only give you blue book value since the cost to repair is not cost effective.
Op what insurance does the milk truc have?
