Happy Saturday all!!
I have surfed the forum for awhile but am finally in NEED enough to throw away my shyness and ask a question.
I hit a volvo who pulled out in front of me out of a parking lot on Tuesday morning. I hit him head on going about 30-35 mph. I am fine, there were no passengers in either of our cars and my airbags did not deploy (thank god!!!).
It seems that the crumple zone did its job and absorbed a lot of the inertia allowing me to walk away unscathed but now they are telling me that it is only 7-8K in damage. It doesn't look like much but as you see further into the engine area you can see that there was more damage.
The real issue is that i know that the element had a unibody which can lead to easy frame damage. They say that my frame is fine but i have heard that some insurance places bypass the frame on elements cause they total so easy.
I have a 13 month old and am moving to SLO Ca in a few months and am just not willing to take ANY chances.
My car is a 2005 honda element, ex, graphite, 85K on it. I love the Might Toaster but i am not willing to risk my kid because of stupid insurance agents. I am also worried that i have "mom brain" and am being unreasonable in the situation. Never been in this before, ive always had junkers ive just thrown away after an accident...
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thank you all
