you need to cancle the claim with your insurance co. and only make the claim on theirs. I went through that before and it worked out alot better for me in the long run. Why should your CO have to pay for someone elses mistakes. Their adjuster will com e out and your co will battle them for you if its an issue. I never make a claim on my policy unless its my fault even with a 50 dollar deductable.

We have the same carrier. I called a national claim center and filed. They had the truck owners' policy info on hand and the policy is current. I'm still waiting for the "investigation" in Tucson to be completed. If they deny the claim at that end, I'm raising Cain. (This is to say I'm after "their" insurance, but since they sent someone local out to inspect Daisy, it's somewhat tied to mine at this point.)

If you let someone borrow your truck (even a family member) and they live in another county, I would think it goes without saying that they have something of an understood authorization to make any decisions regarding the use of the vehicle. If the parents didn't want anyone else to drive the truck, then there needs to be a signed form saying that their son is the only authorized driver. If not, I think they should be liable.

I just know this is going to come down to me having to take them all to small claims court. They won't show, or they will, and I'm fairly certain I would win against at least one of them (the driver), but even then, I doubt I'd get shit in the end.

At this point, the thought of finding the truck and burning it to the ground sounds pretty good. Too bad I have probable cause and they have all my information...

This isn't over yet, but we all know how my luck tends to work.

Either way, it's not getting fixed.

EDIT:
Our site is being shitty and slow at the moment, but az2gnt.net/DR1665/albums/TheGMCIncident/index.html a link to the large pictures of the damage I'm talking about. It's not as bad as it sounds. This is just my shootout and the bitch is not getting away with a ticket.
