i just got a check for $4k in the mail from the insurance company
they will pursue his insurance company and when they get their money, i get my $500 deductible back

car is still at the shop, wont get i back for 1-2 more weeks
i will take and post pics as soon as i get my baby back

does anybody know if i just hand the check over to the body shop or cash it then pay the body shop? ive never done this before and have no idea

thanks for all the help

in my case, whatever the body shop charged me is what the insurance company wrote the check for and it was written directly to the shop.

if its a decent shop, you can cash teh check and pay the repairs on credit card and get rewards if you have a good card

Aren't the side airbags in the driver's seat supposed to deploy in an accident like that?

Great that your insurance company will be working WITH you.

In my experience (my Civic got T-boned by an SUV many many years ago), the check was written out to me by the SUV owner's insurance company. [Not by my insurance company]. I deposited the check, and wrote a separate check to the body shop. It really should not make a difference. The official body shop quote was the amount in check.

I have since traded the Civic for the TSX (obviously).

Good luck, and please show us the workmanship when you can.

The accident happened in a controlled intersection and you think it's nobody's fault? Come on! You didn't describe the accident details, but if you were in the intersection and the other guy came through a stop sign and T-boned you, I'd be calling his insurance company and demanding they pay for every cent of the repairs - assuming the facts support that

Somebody is at fault in the accident - if it's you, then call your company and get your car fixed - if it's the other guy, call his company and don't involve your's

Or call a lawyer and check on your rights under your particular state's insurance laws

Good luck and sorry about your car
