wordless{ish} wednesday: "total loss."

we got the phone call from insurance today, & it's official.  our car is totaled.  the damage would cost about $19,000 to repair so we don't get our car back.  

and yeah, i'm pretty mad.

now we wait to get a check from insurance in an amount that i'm sure will be nowhere near what we paid for it & are stuck trying to figure out what to do.  at the moment i can only focus on being mad about the car.  i can't even begin to imagine what would have happened if sam & parker weren't ok.  no seriously, i can't even think about it.

accidents suck. 





{in case you missed what happened, sam & parker were on their way to a mariner's game while i was up in seattle for girl's weekend.  they got about three miles from our house when they were hit by a winnebago from behind while stopped & pushed into oncoming traffic.  a jeep wrangler hit them from the front & ended up in the ditch.  no one was hurt... and that is a miracle.  the driver of the winnebago has claimed full responsibility for the accident.}

a vote or two will surely ease the pain of losing my poor little car.  maybe?

  4. So glad everyone is okay! What is up with the carseat picture? That made my stomach hurt. Do you guys have to get a new one now? I am amazed how well carseats are made now. Ugh I'm so glad they are okay! Car accidents are horrible expecially when you are just going about your day and BOOM. Hugs to you guys.

  6. So sorry!! That car seat photo gave me goose bumps! Thank God they are alright!

  7. Those photos look very scary! So glad they are both alright!!! Make sure the insurance company addresses the car seat - it should not be used again and they should reimburse you for the replacement!

  8. Gosh! This shows how life can change so quickly...we think each day will be the same. I surely would think you should receive enough $$ to replace the same caliber of car? That does stink!

    I can only suggest to try to let go of the anger, you need a clear head to make some important choices today...thankfully only about replacing a car.

  9. Replace the car seat!! Anytime they are involved in an accident they should not be used again. Buy a new one and submit the receipt to the Winnebago driver's insurance company, they are responsible for reimbursement. I've been there and my child wasn't even in his car seat.

  12. Dang girl. Bummer that it's totaled, but at least your boys are safe and sound!! I know some others have said this, and everyone has probably said it but make sure their insurance company buys you a new carseat. I was in a wreck with J was 5mo and they paid for the replacement.

  13. Oh my goodness that is so scary. I'm so glad everyone is ok. Hopefully you're pleasantly surprised when you find out how much you're getting to buy a new car with... there's always hoping, right?

  14. Oh bummer. Here I thought it was super exciting to go car shopping, but not if you can't get exactly what you had before. My vote? A Subaru! Although I don't think the gas mileage would match the Prius...

  16. glad to hear everyone is doing ok. Lets not even talk about what it would have been like if things went differently.

    How long did the insurance people say it would take to get a check? Dont be sad, just think now you can get a new car.

    Both cars that we've had totaled, we ended up "making" money in the end, so hopefully that will happen to you too!

  23. poop. that stinks.

    thinking larger than expected check thoughts for you {been there, done that which resulted in me getting one of those mommy rigs.... turns out bigger actually does make me feel a little safer}.

  25. Ugh, what a bummer-- BUT the fact that the other guy claimed responsibility and you have your insurance, I bet it will all work out. Try to keep thinking about how Parker and Sam are ok, even though it's hard not to be mad about the car. Everything will work out!

    ReplyDelete
