Just made a claim against a driver coming the opposite direction who decided to make a left turn directly in front of me leaving me no choice but to plow into him. His insurance company covered the loss and admitted 100% liability.

A semi hit me going 55 mph.
I had a circle in the door where the lug nuts from his tire spun around on it.
They paid for the body work.

The last claim was on a life insurance policy for my mother who just passed away.
Before that, it was my ex-husband's car. It was totaled. A guy who was still a little tipsy from the night before hit the gas pedal instead of the brake at a stop sign and t-boned the car.

I had a couple of modest auto claims in my youth. Nothing big.
About 12 yeas ago we had a house fire that began in the garage (devouring my DeLorean) and working its way into the home.
There was $125K in structural damage, but with cleanup and content replacement it was closer to $225K. The claim process with Illinois Farmers was fair and relatively easy.
HOWEVER ... the claim on my DeLorean was much more tedious. Farmer's claimed that they didn't write "stated value" insurance. Except that is what I had purchased after paying to have the car appraised. I was offered only $13K, based upon some old ads for DeLoreans with three to four times the miles than on mine!
After a long search I dug up the initial letter describing my Stated Value Coverage ... on their letterhead. They increased the proposed settlement to $18K, only $2K below the Stated coverage. I let it pass, considering the great handling of our homeowner's claim.

I've made a couple. One for the home when we had a small fire from a TV that caught fire and burned the rug. And we had personal things stolen from our van one night while visiting family.

Good, I remember reading about the accident, now. I had forgotten.
by Yarnlady is happy every day on September 30th, 2008
@Tellittome: Yes, I was lucky. First, that no one got hurt and second, because the guy didn't lie and make up some story. He basically had the obligation to make sure traffic was clear before turning. The damage to both cars substantiated my story.

@gtravels: That is very lucky indeed! Having worked in claims years ago, I can tell you that people lie and they lie a lot. The cars always tell the story though.
