A totally wasted day.....

in steemsilvergold •  6 years ago  (edited)

Evening all.....

So today I’ll give you the follow up from being hit by another truck tonight.

I spent all f the morning and part of the afternoon dealing with the insurance company. Even though I reported it to them last night and gave them all the information, I had to go through the entire thing again with the person assigned to my claim.

Then I got transferred to another person to get a referral number in order to get a rental vehicle until they could send out an adjuster to my truck.

It wasn’t till about 3:00 when I finally got my rental vehicle from Enterprise. I had to use them because of my insurance company. They were pretty quick but had just rented out the last pick up truck prior to me getting there. So I am stuck with an SUV.

After getting my rental, I headed over to where my truck is being held to get my stuff out of it. Here are some better pictures of the damage done.

As you can see in the picture he hit me so hard that the entire quarter panel was pushed all the way past the entire wheel well.

There is still stuff dripping out of my truck.

In 31 years of driving this is the first accident that I have been in. While I didn’t get injured, my body hurts from tensing up for the impact.

So here is my temporary ride. It’s a Ford Explorer. It’s fully loaded and my insurance covers the entire bill. So atleast that’s good.

So glad that your not hurt, did the airbag deploy? Someone told me if they do deploy that they total the vehicle......

Yeah buddy, be thankful you didn’t take any damage to your person, that looks like a pretty hard hit.

He did a number on the truck. Its only 2 years old but im hoping they total it. Nothing ever drives right after being hit like that. Thanks for your concern brother.

Sucky ballz. I think there is a lot of aluminum construction in those trucks and some body shops shy away from them. Good luck.

Other then the frame it’s 100% aluminum.

Scary man, glad you're doing alright.

It sucked watching it coming. I’m a tough old dog

Yup, that looks like a lot of damage! Looks like the radiator support is wrecked, and it may be a write-off. I'm glad you made it out undamaged buddy!

I really hope they Total it. I don’t want a fixed up truck that never drives right. I’m ok just sore and frustrated.

That is crazy. I am glad you were not hurt and hopefully the insurance company gets everything worked out real soon.

Came out of nowhere across the line directly into me.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Ohh my, bestie! I am just so glad that you were not injured that bad! You can always replace your vehicle, but our limbs, our body, our health is so precious... I am so glad to hear that you are okay! Hopefully, you will get your wish and the insurance company will declare your truck as a total loss. Keep us updated, bestie! Take care.

Thank god you were in a big truck and not some garbage little thing. Was the guy that hit you drunk or just not paying attention? I was a passenger once in a car that got hit hard. Totally felt slow motion as we bounced all around. And your right the pain and tension shows up after the adrenaline goes away. Take care of yourself.

Bummer about the truck! Glad you are ok tho!

Thanks brother. It got picked up and taken to be fixed today. They said 6K worth of damage but I think there’s more they couldn’t see.
