I don't know what the insurance companies do up there, but clearly the damage is the other driver fault. Here in NJ, I would put in a claim against his insurance company and hold the responsible for the full cost to make the car perfect (as it was before it was hit). One could argue that the only way to do it would be to replace the door skin.. The have the car shipped to your favorite vendor and have the door replaced. Assuming your old door can be repaired, you can make it available to another owner who is repairing a car without the luxury of an insurance company paying the bill. --- "mr.pants@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <mr.pants@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Well, it had to happen: yesterday, in a parking lot, > a guy in a pickup > truck backed out of his spot without seeing me in my > car (I was stopped > between two cars in a line-up), and despite the <SNIP> To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
