4 years ago, I had just finished paying off my car when I was rear ended by a guy who ran a light and basically caved in the back of my car by 8 inches.
After talking to the police I talked to the insurance company and they arranged to tow it in for an assesment on the damage, they also provided me with a rental car (more about this later)
It took them about a week to get back to me, the body damage was $8000.00 which was more then half the value of the car so they decided to write it off and pay me out. Here was the kicker, once they come to an agreement they would no longer pay for the rental car, so I either had to pay the rental myself or return the car. It took them about a week to get me the check, but I didn't keep the rental and had to depend on other people for transportation while I shopped for a replacement vehicle.
