My car hydroplaned last night and spun on the interstate. Thankfully I was ok and so was everyone else. Considering what happened the damage was minimal, cosmetically I just tweaked the passenger quarter panel a bit and my rear bumper is smashed pretty good. My main concern though is that when the car slid into the median it got hooked on a drainage ditch hard enough to rip my exhaust clean off from the cats back. The center section of my x-pipe and everything else is gone.
What all should I expect as far as dealing with the insurance company? I'm concerned about the potential for damage to the drive line. I was able to drive it onto the flat bed but I want to ensure that it's not going to have problems in the future as a result of this fender bender.
Also, my car has a bassani X and cat-back. For replacements, will the insurance company pay out to replace it with a ford OEM setup or just give me the cash value of the bassani setup? Reason I ask is the OEM stuff from ford is super expensive.
I have Geico if anyone has any experience with them.
Thanks!
