$250

December 24th, 2019 at 03:35 pm

I got $250 from the insurance company yesterday. That is half of my deductible for repairing the new car. Apparently the other driver did admit 50% responsibility.

I am still expecting $500 from the accident in October. I was charged the deductible even though my car was totaled, and the other driver is responsible to pay it. Apparently the other insurance company is fighting it, or lagging on it. No wonder, that accident damaged seven cars and totaled four of them.

And I am still awaiting $800 from the warranty company for the portion I did not use. I was told it would take sixty days, which would mean the end of December. Any time now.

I sent $600 to my Oregon DS for the grandkids' college fund. I wasn't able to do that last year, but I am reinstating that tradition this year. I already told my local DS that I would make the contribution for their kids in January. I am hoping the $800 will arrive to help grease the wheels. I am not real hopeful about the $500.

I'm heading down to Indiana tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with BFF. The weather is cooperating. It should be clear sailing through the city. I am only going to stay one night, because I don't like to leave Iggy alone longer than that, now that his health is declining. Today I'm just tooling around, getting little things done, reading, and catching up on Mrs. Maisel!

    I don't get why they say the other driver is only 50% responsible. It's not as if you were driving carelessly and actually caused the accident.

    I've had two accidents in a brief amount of time. The first, my car was parked and the other party was 100% responsible. But the second, the other driver and I backed into each other in a parking lot. So we are each 50% responsible. For a while she was arguing that I was 100% responsible but my insurance company did not accept that.

    Sadly, these insurance companies have us all over a barrel and figure out the best way to make sure they lose the least amount of money. Granted, I know they are in business to make a profit, but honestly, it irks me to see how much people pay and then have such a struggle to get things fixed, even if it isn't their fault.

    Hope you have a good time with your BFF.
