It ain't over til it's over

We've all heard countless jokes about insurance companies and their reluctance to come across with payment after a claim is made. Although it's too early to comment about the entire affair, I can say that the initial contact with the insurance company has been positive. An adjuster was due out today to look at the car. We're hoping it's a writeoff, so we won't have to deal with nagging problems after attempting major repairs. There was no delay in approving rental car accommodation, and there is a budget for rental that should suffice for a month (should such a long period be required to get the original vehicle back). The only down side is if the insurance company decides to write the car off. In such a case, we have only two days of car rental time to find a new vehicle. That's really too fast to make an informed decision.

We'll see how this plays out.
