I know it really is, I still feel bad about it. The only consequence I had was getting a ticket for driving too fast for conditions that cost like $150 dollars. I don't even know if my insurance had to pay the other guy...
Argghhhh I was young and dumb

Id try to get the 2200 and not even do anything to the car if it still drives.
I'd take the $2200 and fix it myself for like 400-500. But then again I'm a shade tree mechanic (or more, I've pulled off some awesome shit) and have a lot of friends that will do body work and excellent paint for a few cases of beer.
she wont pay it i almost feel worse that shes not paying out of pocket, shes gonna get stuck with paying for the deductible. pretty redundant bc this is gonna reach 1000 in a few months and haunt her for years. but they say two wrongs dont make a right, i guess its a win if her kid starts paying attention in his moms 2010 Toyota

if you cash the check that's a settlement and you get nothing else unless you sue them and even then it'll be difficult to get enough to cover the damages when the check arrives tell him it's $1600 short of making the repairs

i have no experience in insurance companies. if they simply say no will i be forced to get a lawyer? chances for them saying no are probably high bc the adjuster was here already

it's your car, not the insurance companies car, you have 2 estimates that far exceed what the adjuster is wanting to pay, his job is to get you your settlement as low as it can possibly be to save his company money, when the check arrives tell him it's $1600 lower than your estimates for repair and that you expect to be properly compensated but under no circumstances should you cash the check he sends unless it exceeds $2500
my own insurance company wanted to give me $7k for my truck, I got $11k
