We also had the upgraded insurance which covers our own damages in case the accident was caused by anyone driving our car as well as insurance for parking accidents, wild game,... we had this car insured from every angle ;-) since it was the other driver's fault the damages don't go from our policy but similar to Susan's case, if the cost of the repairs exceed the value of the car, all you are left with is a fixed amount of money which isn't much and the car wreckage.coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-17007395297360837722013-02-14T15:37:46.895+01:002013-02-14T15:37:46.895+01:00We contemplated upgrading too but after considerin...We contemplated upgrading too but after considering all angles we decided to stick with this model.

The best thing now is, that your husband is ok.<br />What about the car insurances, what do your insurances cover?<br />Over here - if you bump, your insurances cover the other car´s damage, and your own bonuses sink. If it can be proved, that the bumping was not your fault, no payments out of your insurances.<br />If some car bumps into your´s, the other cars´s owner / insurance pays.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-1211978034410174652013-02-13T18:42:15.505+01:002013-02-13T18:42:15.505+01:00Oh Ana, I'm glad Mr. C is okay but so sorry to...Oh Ana, I'm glad Mr. C is okay but so sorry to hear about poor Marley and the budget setback.

The good outcome was that we switched to a hybrid that soon became a favorite.

I was rear-ended in 2011, and the insurance company decided that my old reliable Honda was worth less than the cost of repairs. We ended up selling to a friend who was eventually able to repair it, and now his wife drives and loves it.
