The reason a driver is at fault IS relevant, I hate to disappoint you. Why do you think Law Enforcement will check your cell phone if YOU cause the accident.

I can't speak for other people, but if *I* find you damaged my vehicle, caused bodily injury, etc., because you were on your cell phone, "Pciking their nose, getting a BJ, reading the newspaper, etc"...I'll own you. The first thing my Attorney will perform is an asset search to see what you own, are entitled to (perhaps a trust, inheritance, etc.), etc. Watch and see if most people won't do the same.

In short, if you damage me due to negligence...you wont like the outcome.

Your insurance company won’t be involved at all unless you need them to. If the at fault party has insurance, and enough insurance, it’ll be handled 100% through them unless you have your insurance intervene. Don’t ask your insurance company to step in unless there’s a specific need.

Disagree.

When my Tacoma was totaled I initially dealt with the other insurance company simply because my insurance wanted to repair. The other company wanted to total out my vehicle and then give me value less salvage value and force me to sell it myself. Their offer was somewhere in the 25k range and the salvage value was 13k range netting me 12k and the hassle of dealing with a ruined truck.

I engaged my insurance company, they totaled me out and bought the truck off me. I had a check of just over $30k and didn’t have to lift a finger.

The other party’s insurance company is not your friend. When I totaled my wife’s Mazda 5 months later which again wasn’t my fault I basically ignored the at-fault company.

Got rear ended on Wednesday myself. Mine goes in for the estimate tomorrow. Looks like a new rear bumper.
