My car went into the ditch and hit a sign post damaging the passenger side front and rear seats. I'm supposed to take it to a "covered" body shop for an estimate. The doors will have to be replaced and I have a $500 deductible which I can't afford
Their estimate will be a lot higher than my solution of buying 2 doors from the junkyard and putting them in. But the Insurance company will insist paying the "covered body shop". I want that check. Is there a particular law I could use to force them to give me the check?
The car is on a collateralized loan. Am I obligated to bring the car up to it's original "appearance" or can I do my own thing?
