Was merging over and the construction truck either didn’t see me or did not care. We were at a red light. He had around a car and half of space when I merged over.
Got out to ask for insurance. A little blaming and then he got in his truck and left. Sooooo yeah.
I have insurance with a 1k deductible. They said since it was a hit and run, and I’m not at fault my rates won’t go up.
Should I let geico handle everything or just get the estimate and find a body repair shop myself?
Also a long thin scratch down the side of the car.
Someone got me a few weeks ago. I don’t have collision, so I’m looking at $6-7k for the repair. The worst part is there isn’t a lot of damage. I’d fix it myself if I wasn’t so worried about the paint matching.
