Hi all,
New here, so please forgive me if this information has already been covered in another thread. And sorry for being so long in my first post!
I was in a 6 car accident last Friday (9 days ago). My car was the 3rd out of the 6, and was the first in the line with any real damage (front end smashed to bits, including parts of engine and rear end needs a bit of work as well).
I'm insured by Geico, and reported the accident immediately (I was on the phone with them before any emergency personnel even got to the scene!) I had a rental car the next day, and heard from my medical adjuster the next business day. So far, so good, right?
Well, it has now been almost a week and a half, and I still have not heard anything from a damage adjuster (my car has not been inspected yet), despite repeated calls to Geico to find out what was going on. The car is not in driveable condition, and was towed directly to a Geico approved auto body shop. For some reason, they had it listed in their systems as driveable, and so there was a delay in assigning a damage adjuster to my claim.
I am growing increasingly frustrated by this, as I only have 30 days worth of rental coverage through them (I am using my own collision insurance to handle the claim, and will let Geico go after the other companies for liability). Ten of my rental days are gone already. The damage to my car, if they decide to fix it, will take some time to be repaired. I am nervous that I will run out of time with the rental before the situation is resolved.
How do I get them to move faster? They claim that my car will be inspected tomorrow, but I've heard that story before...At this point, I would prefer that they total it out, and offer me a fair settlement. I don't suppose there's any way to sway them toward doing that, eh?
