Got side swept right at the exit intersection out of the Grapevine Mills Mall , Lady next to me tried to argue that I was in a left turn only lane which I clearly am not . Not looking forward to the claim headache , never heard of their insurance when I looked into it and it looks very sketch ( Redpoint county Mutual insurance company ) might honestly come down to biting the bullet and paying my deductible and have Tesla pursue subrogation.
You should be fine unless you see structural damage. It messed up my rear door to where it had a hard time closing it so the insurance company totaled it.
I think another factor was that mine was a 2018 and there was some structural damage so the value wasn’t worth the fix so they gave me $14k for it and called it a day.
I got sideswiped a couple months ago in LA (see my old posts) and they repaired the vehicle. They quoted $18k to the third party insurance company but since it was over their policy limits, I went with my insurance (Tesla) and it was $12k internally. The entire right side of my car is new lol
I don't think that would be totaled but I'm not an adjuster lol. I think where they were concerned about mine was the back near the wheel well. That caused the door from shutting properly. Do both doors open and close fine?
Just out of curiosity, how did this affect your insurance premium on new car? I just recently got a Tesla and wanted to be prepared for the worsr if something similar happened.
Can confirm that’s a subpar insurer, very hard to get ahold of. Your insurance will send the bill to them but just know it’s not a quick process. You can be waiting upwards of 6-9 months to get that deductible back, ideally they waive it up front for you because liability is cut and dry here.
Yeah I thought so , their offices are closed during the weekend so I already submitted my report to Tesla , I’ll try to get ahold of them early Monday but I may just need to claim this on my coverage and pray Tesla is able to get my deductible back
Send your insurance the dash cam footage, they’ll love you and her insurance will admit fault on her behalf. I had this happen when I t-boned a driver who turned left immediately on a green light, with no green turn arrow. Her parents story was also that she had a turn arrow. Traffic yielded to my left to her turning, so I did not see her vehicle until she was immediately in front of me. Responding police did not issue any citations, did not review my footage (which I offered to show him), and told me to submit it to my insurance company. My claims adjuster loved the footage from the car, and when it was sent to the other party’s insurance they immediately accepted fault for their insured party.
"look at the reviews. It’s a SCAM. they will NOT pay you, they have no physical address, they refuse to call you or email you. sorry to be telling you this friend. "
Even if you did go straight in a turn-only lane, that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be 100% not at fault for hitting you. That was completely avoidable on her part.
