Bill, please email me at
[email protected]. I went through the EXACT same situation basically as you did June of last year, and as I know a few things about body shops, I'd definately be the one to talk to about this. I was rear ended in my S-10 Blazer by a minivan at 35mph, and it totalled it out, and the guy didn't have any insurance. My Blazer totalled the car in front of me, and I will say the guy in front of me didn't come out nearly as well as I did dealing with the insurance companies. And yes, DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING EVER! There is pain and suffering money they won't tell you about that they have to pay, etc, etc....LOTS of "little things" you probably don't know about...The insurance companies do play dirty, and will do things like put a statement on a check saying they're released from the matter if you deposit the check...PLEASE shoot me an email Bill.......Put Trailmanor in the subject line though so I know it's you.
