So i was leaving school going about 20 in a school zone when a tahoe backed out and it was too late for me to stop. If anyone could give me any advice, it would really help me out. Here is the damage:

:help

Damn, sorry to hear about your truck. Did you guys exchange information or call the police?

 

[TBone]

I feel for ya.......and I know how you feel.
one day last week I was driving along and heard a thud, absolutly nobody around or anything.....then this last sun wifes sitting on the porch and ask me what I'd hit?????:cookoo[1]:
She points out a decent size dent on the bed right behind the rt rear tire. j..I guess I hit something and it got kicked up into the bed

Time for a big bumper of you get a insurance check

 

[mackyoudip]

Damn that sucks! Atleast it isn't totaled! Shouldn't be atleast.

Have your insurance co handle it. If the other driver was backing, they were to yield. Your insurance co should fix your truck, and go-after the other drivers' co for reimbursement. This is, if you have a good insurance co/agent.

This is the reason why I wouldn't trade my bumper for anything!
Sucks to hear man, sorry about everything. Good news is you could probably get the insurance money to cover an aftermarket bumper when reinstalling parts..

 

[ahduramax]

Sorry, ive been on the phone with the ins company. I have to go get an inspection tomorrow so they can tell me how much i'm going to be getting. Big bumper is going on forsure. Ill keep yall updated. THis really blows. I got his insurance and stuff though, so hopefully I can get her on the road again soon.

Watch the ins. adjuster son they will rob you blind and want to use after market parts. Hold your mud you have rights

 

[Blackcloud556]

Ouch. that sucks man

 

[ahduramax]

Im taking it to a chevy collision center right after i leave the inspection place to get a second quote. I am going to be making sure i get the payout that is equivalent to OEM GM parts.

 

[ahduramax]

the bumper was also worse, but i had to bend it out so i could get home. It messed up my tire real badly

 

[dmaxhd]

put a real bumper on that thing other than the tin foil stock one.

 

[bshaner]

that sucks man.. but no big bumper. put a smooth black ss bumper

 

[ahduramax]

Its getting a big heavy steel sombitch haha. Ive hit too many deer to get another beercan of a bumper...

 

[nvrplzd]

^Once you have to employ the help of a friend just to lift a bumper to install it you'll never go back to that flimsy arse stock piece lol

 

[02sierra]

It happens to the best us of. I recently had a accident but I ended up putting the stock bumper back on for now. A ranch hand is going on later though.

 

[ahduramax]

So after I have my inspections and settle on the amount I'm going to get for repairs, do I take it to my body shop and tell them to fix the dents/paint scrapes and issues and then use the left over money to purchase the bumper and install it? I'm really not sure how the payout works... Do I just get a check? Or do they make sure I install oem parts? Yalls input would be awesome..

 

[daword2011]

Ranch Hand FTW They handle deer well, can't even tell you hit em after you wash em off

 

[Tow Master]

Dang... Well atleast its all cosmetics.... Maybe ask for a valance with fog lights when its fixed
