Yeah thats right i got 6500 in damage today to my car due to some idiot that was driving a dump truck filled with rocks that couldnt seem to figure out how to put a cover on his load. i was about 10-15 car lengths back and was just getting anhiliated with golfball size rocks. I called the company and they told me to just take it up with my insurance company and i told them that they dont understand my insurance company isnt going to cover all this aftermarket **** i have. So what would u guys do. I already got 2 estimates and am planning on just suing there company but should i let my insurance company take care of it??
what do you guys think

lol, sorry to laugh but thats too funny man, my buddy just went into a fence in his Evo and the estimate was $5600. A ****ing headlight for an Evo(just one) is $1200

Sorry to hear though..........

call your insurance and tell them to take care of it by talking to the truck company. They are at fault, and your insurance should have no promlem going after the money.

did yoy get the plates of the truck? i had a truck that had rocks coming off the back once. one of the rocks hit my windshield, and cracked it, but because i didn't get their plate number, they 'couldn't say for sure that it was their truck'.

but i did notice that all their trucks were covered for a few weeks after that. i believe that there is a law about hauling trucks needing to be covered. if not, there should be!

Im now in the same boat as you. 2500.00 in damage from a dump truck. busted windshield, front bumper, totaled x-brace, destroyed exhaust. insurance doesnt want me driven the vic due to a fire concern, since the exhaust is bent so bad it bashes against the floor boards and is actually heating them up. rear section of the tcs is still good and up for sale if any one wants it.

 
Rep Power: 448

wow...how big were the rocks (or should i say boulders)?

 
Rep Power: 290

the underside were easy 15-20pnds. boulders... hands down

depends on his coverage. if its a full policy than it will/should be covered under his comprehensive coverage. In that case its vary rare that the insurance will go after the truck company. this time around for me i could get the truck info i had to get off the highway ASAP.

 
Rep Power: 337

im going to start carrying a bag of rocks to throw at these truckers.

i have full coverage and when someone rearended me, they were more than willing to take over and collect all the money from the other insurance.

spoke with the wife today...she says you will have to pay your deductable regardless but your company can claim it as comprehensive or collision. if it hits the ground first..its collision and will be on your record. if it was airborn, its comprehensive.

interesting....but if my insurance goes after the other company then wont they make the other company have to cover my deductible or no. Am i just screwed

 
Rep Power: 337

you always have to pay the deductable....i think

 
Rep Power: 448

any updates?

 
Rep Power: 0

no....looks like the damage is going to stay for a while but i guess im kind of lucky i got a couple of body shops that owe me favors. But if i go to the meet you guys will see and the chips/scratches.
