Well Ken, that all depends on wether you'd rather just shell out a tad more
now, or call your insurance and shell out more over time. Also, if you call
your insurance make sure that they won't count that accidtne against you. I
have SF and if I were to hit a deer they would not hold it against me and
not raise my payments either. Now if I drove into a ditch (done that too -
accident avoidence tactic) they did get me there. My payments did rise each
month...What's worth it to you? Most companies only give you a set # of
claims before you're dropped.......
