The damage looked like nothing. But I've got a $12,000 CND quote to fix it all. Here's the breakdown if anyone's interested in what certain parts may cost.







Edit: here is the story of what happened:
A young girl slid through a red light and I ended up slamming into her driver side rear door. No one was hurt.

Turns out she has no insurance so I'll have to pay my deductible. But oh well.

Here's some pics of my car and her car.

What was the total amount to repair it? Good you were not hurt? Was the rear alignment damage?

I'm not totally sure what's all wrong yet. The total is sitting at 12,000 right now. They are still working on it.

I do not miss living in a snowy region. I remember watching a guy in an F-150 do a 360 spin in the middle of a 2 lane road with wide shoulders. Everyone was going slow so we all were able to move out of the way until the F-150 came to a stop. Luckily, my wife and I are both good drivers and always were careful in bad weather. We were fortunate not to be hit by another driver sliding through an intersection.

Lots of weather related crashes each year. I'm surprised our insurance didn't decrease significantly when we moved South. BTW, what does it cost to insure a CR-V in Canada anyway? Do you have the same independent insurance companies or is it government run like the healthcare system (LOL, I'm sure it's not).

Glad everyone is ok!

Ditto what Mike728 said! ^^^

Glad I don't live where there is ice/snow!

Well in Alberta it's not government ran. But I think BC and Sask are.

I pay about $1900 a year for full coverage on my CRV.

Wow we are at $560 full coverage with a $500 deductible on our 2018 CRV Touring in WI for a year. That's actually $200 more than my 2015 Jeep GC. I guess living in Gods country comes at a cost.

I Canada drivers are REQUIRED to have snow tires (and insurance...I wonder if the sedan with no insurance had proper tires?)

I guarantee the spinning F-150 did not have proper tires (and I suspect you did not either).

If you live in a snowy area snow tires are a must. Think of them as pot holders - sometimes you do not need them until you get burned and learn a valuable lesson...

Happy no-one was hurt, hope you can collect via your court system the deductible from the at fault driver.

All of Canada is not required to have snow tires. BC does. But Alberta most definetly does not.

And yeah still working things out. Basically I'm just out my deductible so far.

That would be amazing to pay that little. But I've already known cost of living in America would be way less.

You mentioned the person had no insurance. They are in a heap of trouble. In the US in most of not all states you must have uninsured/underinsured coverage. Maybe that covers the deductable? if your province has small claims court you could sue for the deductable.

When I see that people have "full covrage" that just means you have Collision, comprehensive and collision. People have to make sure they have more the the minimum limitations. Policys limit what they pay out. Make sure you have adequate property, and liability levels. I would also recommend a 1 million umbrella policy. 100/300/25 polices won't cut it if you get sued.

Glad nobody was hurt. Gotta wonder if each were doing say 5mph less on snow/ice if it could have been avoided.unno:

I can see your insurance company going after her for $$$$$. $2000 is one thing, but over $12000, they won't sit down for it.

Oh yes my insurance company is going after her. They will try and get my deductible back too but unlikely. I could sue her for the deductible as well as diminished value but not sure I want to risk hiring a lawyer and not winning anything.

 

[hans471+]

$12k to fix that? Wow!
$1900 a year for full coverage on a CRV? Double WOW!

So glad to live where I do....much more affordable to live here in Kentucky.

I can't read that tiny microscopic print, but twelve grand sounds ridiculous, unless the frame is bent. Looks more like twelve hundred. I hope you got more estimates. Also, never let a dealership do the work. Ever.
