Settlement

August 30, 2022 06:08AM
After having an adjuster assess the damages to my son's recovered Kia Optima, the insurance company declared the car TOTALLED and cut him a check. The check was for $2,000 more than what I paid for the car when I bought it last year, but the check was nowhere near enough to cover the cost of the replacement car. Still, the settlement is more than I expected it to be. Since I paid for both cars, son is giving me the settlement money which is only right.

We are still waiting to get the car tags which the insurance company removed from the dead car and are returning to us by mail. Then we can go to the DMV, get the new car registered, pay the sales tax, etc and finally put this whole episode behind us. It's been an ordeal.
