Unfortunately the wife was in a car accident yesterday and Id like to hear any advice from anyone thats been through this, someone rear-ended her going at a pretty high rate of speed. It is a pretty cut and dry situation as far as fault is concerned, the person that hit my wife was cited for failure to avoid an accident.
My wife's car is a 2017 Chrysler 300S that we just recently bought in march, there is a lot of damage to both vehicles, she was hit and then the impact pushed her into the car in front of her, Im leaning towards believing that there is some structural/frame damage based on what I saw and that makes wonder... IF the insurance company tries to repair the car how do I make sure that there isnt any permanent unseen damage to the frame?
given that the car is almost new the insurance company is more likely to try to repair rather than replace.
As I see it the following is all fucked:
*Rear bumper
*Rear parking sensors
*Trunk
*Tail lights
*Rear crash bar
*Rear quarter panel is tweaked/rear right door wont shut right.
*Sheet metal under the trunk/gas tank
*Front bumper
*Front grille
*Front parking sensors
*Front fog lights/brackets
*Front crash bar
*Exhaust
So what say TCG? total loss or not?
