Progressive said I'd get a call tomorrow from the adjuster. I was sweating my deductible, its $250 and I get rental car coverage too. So this isn't the end of the world, I just hope the place I want to take it to works with Progressive. |
Yo I hear that w/ their logic! In my situation, I saw the deer, it saw me. It didn't go any further into the road on it's instinct so I exhaled a sigh of relief. I swear, the deer saw me putting down my guard and thought it was safe to cross too! I gave it a nasty bruise and it ran off. I cracked my bumper but that's about it. Thank God.
Anyway, hitting a deer one time is too many already. Maybe you can buy the car back and still come on top like Josh (thesk8tnmidget) said? It would be a damn shame to total that car if it only has body panel damage.
