Most people focus on their injuries after a crash, but dealing with Property Damage can become an immediate financial nightmare. 📉
Here is what the insurance companies don’t want you to know:
The Impound Trap: If your car is towed to an impound lot, they start charging massive storage fees per day. If you wait for the other driver’s insurance to process the police report, you could face thousands in out-of-pocket fees. 💸
The Body Shop Crisis: Due to part shortages and labor demand, booking a slot at a certified auto body shop can take anywhere from 3 to 5 months right now. 🗓️😲
First-Party Advantage: Using your own collision coverage (First-Party) is often the fastest way to get a rental car and get your vehicle evaluated without destroying your budget.
While most injury firms ignore vehicle damage and leave you to handle it alone, Ritchie Reiersen Law takes the extra step to guide our clients through the property damage chaos. 🤝⚖️
