Dunno. What difference does it make?
|

Yesterday, my 10 year old daughter saw a calculator with SIN, COS, TAN functions.
She asked her mother what they were for; her mother deferred our daughter to me...
This could be an interesting conversation with her!

Easy:
- SIN Does something naughty.
- COS Makes a lettuce appear.
- TAN Makes your skin darker. (If you press it too many times, you'll get skin cancer.)

Moved in to my new digs last week.
Monday, 18 wheeler was in the parking lot.
The truck and trailer were just too big for the apartment complex.
The driver drove over the curb and smashed the bumper of my car.
Called insurance agent. They told me to call the cops and get a report.
Did that.
Cop asked me if I saw it in person; answer: no.
Cop says, no witness, no case.
The tracks in the landscaping (over the curb) are so obvious that nobody could deny who did it.
Folks at the apartment complex were able to identify the trucking company and the first name of the driver.
Time to take a loss ?
The car is sitting in the same place, untouched since the incident. I have a few pictures.
Haven't called the truck company at this time.

Your insurance agent/company should be contacting the trucking company, not you. They should also take care of fixing your car immediately, regardless of how it happened.

I was thinking the same thing. 
|
|
|
|
|
You pay insurance company to take care for such things as contacting the other side and do some investigation if needed...
Such a chutzpah!!!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I think this depends on the country.
In France, cops are not allowed to refuse to take up claims, whatever it is. The insurance then intervenes, based on the police report.

If something were to happen to the driver and nobody saw it, they would have no case.

The first question to ask your ins company is - will this call cause my rates to go up?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Correct.
All advice here has been read and assimilated.
Adjuster is scheduled to visit me and advise me.
(Hope no one is offended, but his advice will count more than those here; still, thanks for the insight from the gang here.)
So, I'm screwed. I will now go set off my solarbanite device.

So you are going to take the advice of a professional insurance adjuster who holds your premium rate in his hot little hand over a bunch of geeks who may not even live in the same country as you - tcha what cheek!
