I've found a weirdness in my car/home insurance. If you even report an accident, and do not collect because the damage is below your deductible, it goes as a black mark against your record, which is assessed when your review comes up, and could cause insurance cancellation. Never report an accident if it's minor enough so that your deductible will cover it. In my case, I drove my car (very slowly) into a garage door which was coming down intstead of going up. It turns out I don't need a new door, just a $100 brace on the lower door. (the repair guy was honest).
We must never assume insurance agencies are our friends. I thought they were "neutral". I have talked to the execs and they say they will "withdraw" the claim, but can I believe them?
Erin, maybe your new doctors will shed some additional light on your condition, which could be an unexpected bonus of having to change. I hope so!

My dad was the one who reported the damage to my car. I didn't even know it had happened. I was home asleep. I woke up, and there were emails from my car insurance company emailing me about an accident that had been reported. I was like "what?".
My dad is paying the deductible for the damage he caused. It was totally his fault. He also feels bad because I haven't been able to drive the car and he went and damaged it. We get it back today in a couple of hours, and as soon as my eye doctor sends my physiatrist a letter about my eyes. I should be getting my hand controls and driving lessons in the hand controls soon. I'll be able to
finally drive the thing. I. Can't. Wait.
