While I was hoping for a newer "Scout", sort'a like something designed in the sprite of the original I/II, it's what I actually expected. Just another generic/modern SUV. Very boring, but to each their own.

UPDATE: Long story, short... since I hadn't heard anything from Allstate (my insurance company) since I filed my claim, I decided to reach out to my claim officer via the Allstate mobile app. After three days of no response, I called and got an, "I'll be out of the office until Aug 1st" message...

Yeah, I’m not 100% sure of the law in SC either. I’m fairly confident that Allstate will cover the cost of repairs/replacement. It’s more of a waiting game at this point. As it stands neither company has even inspectied it yet. They’ve only looked at the photos I’ve submitted. Of the 4 or so...

You’re too kind. All I can say about my attitude is that I do my beat to keep things in perspective, life is too short to get worked up over foolishness. Simply, I can imagine that, on my deathbed, I’ll even remember this incident. It’s far less important than any amount of time I’ve spent with...

Good to hear you were covered and that they took care of you. As for me, before today I’d never even heard of underinsured motorist coverage, or knew there was a need for such specific coverage. I’d blindly assumed my insurance simply covered me and would go after whoever caused the accident...

USAA contacted me this afternoon, it seems the driver only has $25k in coverage, nothing more. So, I've reengaged Allstate and initially received a bunch of pushback, but after about 20 mins of stern discussion, and highlighting my 20+ years at Allstate, things seem to be moving in "a"...

Still sounds bad to me.

My end insurance company will all depend on how this adventure ends. If USAA takes proper care of me, they’ll earn my business. Either way, Allstate is on the chopping block. Thanks for the recommendation. ?

And here’s the other vehicle, sorry for the horrible composition, the lighting was awful (flashing, spots, and darkness).

And here are a few extra images… (There might be one I’ve shown before, but I’m using my phone to post so it’s difficult to tell)

Holy smokes, your’s sounds way more serious than mine. That must have been awful. How long did it take you to recover? Personally I’m feeling better, I’ve been resting a lot. Time will tell. I’ve finally had a few exchanges with USAA via email, mostly sharing my images and vehicle data. I’ll...

You were spot on about the 24 hr thing. I woke up yesterday feeling like I was hit buy a bag of bricks. It’s so odd how the body works. The day of the crash I was a little sore, but went to work like nothing happened. Then towards 7pm I started feeling stiff, but by the next morning my lap/belly...

Will do, thanks. ?

Yep, I contacted the drivers insurance after inform. First I filed a digital claim, then followed it up with a call. I requested (and received) a rental car, and will be demanding a “total loss”. I’ve already drafted a list of talking points, but am prepared to get an attorney if needed. There’s...

Yeah, that and a little Bondo, it’ll be better than new!

Good advice, depending on how they treat me/my claim, I’ll probably do that. Thanks!

You’ve got a lot going on, for sure. It’s always amazing to me the things people have to deal with in their lives. Most push on and you’d never know that they have so much on their plate. Sound like you’ve got a great perspective/outlook on things.

I’ve heard good things about USAA, so we’ll see. Oddly, even though I’ve never had any interactions with them, when I called and provided my name and phone number they somehow had access to my military info and started referringto me as Master Sergeant (knowing my rank at retirement). I’ve been...

Dang, that sounds horrible. I’m blessed for sure. My issues are trivial in contrast to those you’re dealing with. I wish you the best.

That’s the plan at this point, hopefully things stay civil and go smoothly.
