Will insurance Cover this

Yesterday coming home from Zephyrilshills a town above tampa i was at some car show and this little boy in the middle of the road decided to jump out i swerved and went into a ravine in the side i got out and i drove home ok. The front end of my car is all torn up the bumper i know is gone the radiator has no leaks but my friend said something about a engine crossmember that was bent and theres alot of twisted metal under the hood. the hood does not close, my filter for my CAI is dented up from the accident. Im callin the insurance company up today. You think theyll cover this and if they do can i put an aftermarket bumper on??? oh yeah little kids stay away from the roads man this sucks

theyll probably cover it minus your deductible and then raise your rates

They're right, don't claim it if it isn't that much to repair. I'm an underwriter and I'm just saying that in most states your rates will climb like crazy if you claim on accidents. Insurance companies screw you but it is essential to drive, just don't claim it b/c it'll stick w/you for 3 years man, and if you are just a kid (>25 yrs old) it'll really screw you.

harsh stuff. that's not cool at all. I've avoided insurance evertime anything's happened to my car. As a result it's getting to be in bad shape. But it probably has saved me a lot of money, plus i'm getting it fixed as soon as i get back from Vancouver.

man, that sucks monkey *****...
what happened to the kid? did he run off?
I would have grabbed him and once I found out who he was, I would make his parents pay.
But I know it's too late...
I'd lend you some money, but I don't have any
