given to them by the insurance company to order you a replacement aftermarket bumper and you'll just have to covering the overage.Īs for the spare tire. I would instruct your friend to use what ever credits. They will just need to submit supplementals when they tear your rear bumper skin off and your rear hatch. Your insurance will give your friends body shop a credit to replace your factory bumper and what ever need to be replace behind it. I can help alittle bit because I've dealt with this situation. They're not going to give you more money because you want something more expensive. I'd be 99% certain they will only cover the cost for an oem replacement bumper though. Not sure on the spare tire, but figure that would be an insurance claim. I know there's a lot there but Any help would be greatly appreciated as always! Thank you very much! Is this something to file with the police or my insurance? I was taken in an ambulance so I'm not sure what happened between me leaving and them towing it. I had plans on an aftermarket bumper in the future however I'm looking to do the whole thing now.īeing after-market bumpers are significantly more expensive, would insurance cover the cost of a new bumper? I'm looking at a hefty fabworks - $2200 or would they give me the cost of what it would be if it was a OEM bumper going on?Īs well, my spare tire is now missing somewhere between the accident and being towed.

And my lawyer wasn't sure how to answer my question. I hired a lawyer the next day to help through the whole process and with that the insurance company told me they can't speak to me directly anymore. Vehicle was taken to a friends auto body shop and they are waiting for my insurance to make some movement and get an adjuster there. Outside of a separated shoulder, concussion, neck & back and chipped teeth I was okay for the most part and lucky as it could have been much worse. I unfortunately was rear-ended by a dump truck while stopped at a red light on 11/12 after leaving the dealership for a oil change.
