Side swipe and minimal insurance payout, what do i do? (& wrap prep(
Alright ya'll, Few months ago some dimwit ran into (over) my drivers side quarter panel and door. The door panel has around 6 baseball sized dents in a row that aren't too deep but the damage is about a foot long. There's also a softball sized shallow dent near the door handle.
She also hit my quarter panel, leaving a quarter sized deep dent and an odd foot long curved dent that almost seems to follow the body line above the wheel. There's also a quarter sized dent on the front-most side of the wheel well. Last issue is some paint damage/removal from snow chains on the rear side of the fender lip. So here's the deal. Insurance kinda fucked me so I have $1700 to fix the dents AND wrap the car which is $1500. I can obviously pay extra out of pocket but not sure where to start. Heeeeelp. btw, black jazz is from her gd tire, i'll grab better pics tomorrow. pix

Did you already accept the payout? Insurance companies don't enjoy giving money away and often low ball hoping you don't argue. You are well within your rights to turn down a settlement and ask for more.

You have her information / insurance companies information. They have to make you whole. Have the people fixing it submit a suppliment claim.

Yea, why would you even tell YOUR insurance company? You should have went after HER insurance company! That what I have always done.
