well, looks like Geico is trying to shaft me. they want to give me $4200
for the truck, or $3770 if i keep it (NADA - their original valuation
method - lists it at about 7900). as you can see, i'm not one to be pushed
around, and neither is my attorney.

let the fun BEGIN!!!

Gabe, could be worse, of course. The hit doesn't look all that terrible as
these things go but parts and labor can make it what's known as a
constructive total meaning it can be fixed but costs more to repair than
it's really worth. It does sound like the adjuster is going to try to work
with you on that. Let's hope he/she is going to be straight with you.

In any case, thats the first part. The second part is your injury. Get to
your dr. asap to get checked out. Let the Caddy driver's insurance company
and yours know that you have an injury and anticipate being compensated for
it at some point. You may want to visit with a chiropractor or an orthopod.
Hopefully, you had PIP or med pay on your policy to pay the med bills up
front. Whether you hire a lawyer or not is up to you.

I feel your pain as someone once said- I have a '98 Dak CC Sport in flame
red too with 87,000 miles and would hate to lose it that way.
