I think that is a wonderful approach. Be nice but firm at first; but, if they start the non-sense immediatly have a lawyer intervene. you may want to drop some suttle hints that you can play hardball. Afterall, it was a brand new purchase that you were looking forward to and enjoying. Only to have it ruined is more than enough for anyone to have a BAADDDD MONTH or more. Emotionally I would be so angry if that happened to me.Originally Posted by MtnBikerChk
4. I've already spoken to the shop (several times). At the first sign of low balling I'm calling an attorney - I'm not in the mood to mess around
Even though you claim no injury, you should be careful. Sometimes injuries from wrecks don't show up for few days.
And like everyone else said, Really happy for you that you came out without too much injury.

+1 If the insurance company has enough knowledge to just replace the frame and selected components, I'd personally say "no deal". This was not a "used" bike...you deserve a new replacement. While you're being nice but firm, don't assume that the insurance company means to do what they say. Choose your words carefully coax them to the right conclusion. For instance, I think it's better to say something like "please don't make me feel like I need to get an attorney to protect my interests" rather than "do this or else I'm getting an attorney".

Glad to hear that you are OK. Whew, that must have scared the bejezus out of you.
Sorry about your bike, though.

well I faxed the insurance company the receipt....I'll let you all know what happens
my prediction: No arguement, here's your check.
know why I predict that? because I'm already getting completely worked up in my mind. Usually, when I do that, there's no confrontation LOL
