Insurance claim?!!!
I'm in my e28 M5 last Thursday night and stopped to get gas station. This station has two rows of pumps, and at the time both sides to both rows were filled. I was on the inside of one of the ends, had opened my door in order to get out and that's when the lady in the Civic tried to squeeze down the center and pushed my driver's door well past its normal opening distance. God awful sound. Called the police for a report, the lady admitted guilt. Her company (Geico) called me/Hagerty and agreed to 100% responsibility. Here's where I need to the collective wisdom of Pelican. Hagerty is pushing to have the claim go through them but Geico has already told me they'll cover the repairs. Hagerty wont go on record that "if" I go through them my rates won't go up in the future, and wants to send an appraiser to see my car. I have a clean record, no claims, no speeding tickets etc. Why would they want to run the claim and not run it through Gieco?!!! Note, close friend thought maybe Hagerty would manage the claim and then make Gieco pay them, but my Hagerty appraiser said that wasn't the case. Hmmm! Whoever pays, can't imagine it's going to be cheap. Sorry for the long post.
