[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 15504906, member: 40308"] if you mentioned diminished value they will try to laugh that off. just mention seeking a lawyer and that will stop the lols on their end. every state is different when it comes to car accidents/insurance. here, you have the right to take it to any shop of your choosing for repairs. then the shop and the insurance company fight over the repairs. since you were rear ended, you should be able to insist on oem parts. some companies try to get away with just aftermarket parts. again, mention lawyer lol. also, here in ca, if you are still making payments on the car, then they cut the check out directly to the shop or both you and the shop. if you own the car outright, then they will often make it out to you. but that's CA rules/practices. insurance companies try to save $ on paying out claims as much as possible without dicking you over. but theyre also afraid you'll get a lawyer and the cost of the claim doubling or even tripling. lawyers have a way of making that happen. a lawyer will take 30-40% of the recovery but they'll also make that recovery waaaay higher than it would be without them. in reality, that will only happen if their is personal injury. otherwise, there's no real money for them to make. my mom was rear ended a couple of months ago and had some minor neck pain. it was a minor fender bender. just bumper damage. she talked to a lawyer and he said it just wasnt enough of an accident for him to get involved. so if you want them to get involved, expect to exaggerate your "soft tissue pain".
