Am I the only one sitting here shaking my head as I read these comments?Tom,the next time you pay your insurance policy you need to get a discount for doing their job.It just amazes me the crap we all go through to get a car fixed that somebody else damaged.Tom just who is your insurance carrier?If its Hagerty Im going to start looking for a new insurance company.

Lee, thank you for your time on this! I'm going to bring the info you gave me to the adjustor. It's tough when the GEICO claim people don't have internet access....I keep telling them here let me send you this link....

Jeff, it's not my insurance company. I'm not putting this thru my company. This deal is with the other guy's insurance......and all this may be in vain on my part because their ( GEICO's ) insured says that he never hit my corvette....so there is a chance I could easily loose out in all of this. With my luck, it's almost a lock. The claim person is still in the process of making a determination of fault. Pending that outcome I would then have to do this dog & pony show to prove that their estimate to repair my damage is incorrect. I just figure I might as well prove it incorrect now and save the time later. But if they decide that the guy didn't hit me, well I guess I wasted my time. I shall see, I guess.

Gentlemen, thank you all very much for helping me out and allowing me to rant.

Tom,I mean you no disrespect here with my comments but whenever this subject comes up the it always has the same outcome.The passion we all share for these cars pretty much makes use all friends somewhat and I just hate seeing someone get takin advantage of.Good luck with this Tom.

I took it like you were sharing my frustration Jeff.

I just didn't want my company to take any blame. They have been as helpful as they could be to me....short of me wanting it to go thru my collision clause.

Tom,

If they claim they didn't hit your car, why did they report the accident to their insurance carrier? If there was no accident how come they reported your information to Geico? These are questions I would be asking Geico.

This is why I never move my car until a cop views the accident and then there is a report on file. Too many people out there that want to skate on their responsibility.

Good luck with Geico.

Not always.Ive got a 64 Nova that got smacked by a public bus.After getting nowhere with the bus company I turned it over to my insurance co.My insurance co at the time,Leland-West was absolutely worthless.The estimate was for around $2300.The bus company wasnt going to pay for the damage despite the police report clearly stating the bus pulling from the side of the road and running into the car.Leland-West did everything possible from low ball estimates to wanting to total the car.One excuse givin was,well these old cars really are not worth all that much.This went on for about 2 months.Once I started requesting info to file a complaint with the State against Leland-West I get a check in the mail for the full $2300.I canceled with Leland-West right after the check cleared.Heres something everyone here that has a collector policy,Leland-West is a broker for American Modern Insurance Group.I would venture to say some here have their car covered by A.M.I.G and dont even know it.

Isn't AMIG the company behind the Corvette Museum insurance that's being hawked all over the other forum?

TIA

Tom

you mean other then the window sticker that says they are different, the coffee table book, any half assed google search, and just looking at them?


no wonder people hate insurance companies. no offense to anyone who may happen to work in insurance
