Any car insurance people here?

Last Friday I rear ended a Dodge pickup with my Mustang. This is the first time I have been in an accident that was my fault in the almost 20 years I have been driving. I'm fkn pissed that I wasn't paying enough attention when everyone stopped, but I am glad that I didn't hurt anyone or anything but my car and my pride. It barely moved his bumper at all, and didn't do any sheet-metal damage or bust any taillights or the tailgate.

 

The way it hit, his bumper pushed my hood in, bumper down and broke a headlight. The hood latch is stuck shut, so I haven't messed with it to get it open and look inside yet because I'm waiting on Progressive to send out their adjuster, but I can see that the radiator and radiator support framework is fuged too. I think that's about the extent of the damage, and I'm pretty confident that looks way worse than it actually is.

 

How do they determine when to total a vehicle? I've looked online and found that in Texas it has to reach 100% "actual cash value" for them to write it off. Apparently they can use whatever source for the value that they want, so just going off the averages from Kelly, NADA, and local listings, the value should be between $7.5k and $8.5k. That's stock value, I have a lot invested in aftermarket stuff but I honestly do not expect them to calculate for that. I can't see repairs costing more than $3-3.5k, I have already looked up the parts and those will be around $1k. $2-3000 for labor and paint maybe...

 

I had it towed to my house and it is in the garage, I didn't want it sitting on some random lot where I had no say in what happened to it in case they decide to get froggy. It they do call it a total loss, I either want to claim the salvage title, or worst case scenario take all of the bolt on poo I have put on it off before they try to take it. I am not really sure what my rights are and I'd really like to keep it if at all possible.

    • We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
    • I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera. 
    • Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
