Reply to "Banzai Runner (#4033) Update"

I'm glad you had a good outcome with Hagerty as I have my Pantera and a couple of other cars insured with them.  I recently had a similar good outcome with my daily driver Jaguar XKR and my regular insurance, Mercury.  In March, I had parked my car on the street to go into a bank.  A woman driving a beat up suv turned out of an alley 5' behind my car, cut it too close.  I had my door open and my left foot outside already, and she hit my door on the inside with me still holding it, bent the door off its hinges and slammed it into the front quarter panel.  She called her insurance and claimed that I opened my door into her as she was passing (a complete lie).  Her insurance would not cover the damage, so I called Mercury.  They sent an adjuster out the next day, and within two or three days had approved a $7800 estimate that included repainting about 2/3 of the car, a door replacement, and all of the aluminum body work.  The repair (done at my usual body shop) was complete in two weeks, and the result was perfect.  Almost too good as my XKR has 175,000 miles on it and looks brand new. I had an excellent outcome and am very satisfied with Mercury's service.
