Not the intro I would've liked

That does not seem logical. Why wouldn't the orgininator of the contact be responsible for all the damage?

This is the logic here in CA. I had a similar incident in the early ’90s. Traffic Cale to a stop, I stopped, car behind me plowed into my 4Runner, causing my 4Runner to tap the car in front of me. Wrecked my front valence and bent the license plate. Damaged the trunk lid of the car in front of me. The car behind me was pretty wrecked, and left some scratches in my aftermarket tube bumper’s powder coat. Insurance said the driver of the car behind me was at fault and his insurance had to pay for repairs to my SUV and the car in front of me.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can’t renew/pay for BC with FordPass points.

yeah my bad didn’t see the little ** leading to that chart. At least they can pay for map updates haha ‍

Gosh. At the end of the day, it's a good thing everyone is safe and these are just metal.

But seek a diminished value claim against the insurance of who was at fault.

You should be made good for now having a bad mark on CarFax or something alike.

Because the guy behind you didn't maintain assured clear distance
Don't blame me it's the law.

Oh, yes, I'm blaming you!!! Just kidding, and of all things my daughter's were rear-ended on their way home from Spring Break yesterday. Mild damage to the car (I'm guessing a few thousands to repair) and no damage to the kids. At least the woman that hit them accepted fault and a police report was generated. Hello, insurance co. I may ask them about that Cash for Depreciation Value!! The things you can learn from the Forum.......

Sorry about the accident. Thank God no injuries. I've got to look up Cash for Depreciation Value. Agreed, this forum is a fount of information.

No, BC cannot be paused.

Take 2 identical cars, one has been in an accident. How much cheaper does the wrecked one have to be so that you would buy it over the other one? That’s the diminished value.

 

[Womps]

In my neck of the woods it will be diminished 30% to 40% of the appraised damage.

Car is at the body shop and got this update on Ford Pass. Still another week before it should be done though.
