If you contact your prior carrier that you had at the time, they are obligated to provide you with a letter stating outcome of that accident. If you didn't go through your own carrier and you went through that of the party that rear ended you, same thing. They have to provide you a letter indicating you were not at fault.
When you get that letter, your carrier will be obligated to reimburse you the surcharge amount.

While I work for an insurance company and am often explaining our actions that most don't understand, if I were you, I would invest the minimal time involved in getting this letter and get your money back. Better in your pocket than in theirs.

I'll do that. Thank you!

75$ is 75$.

Re: Hit and Runs...

Sucks that you can't prove who did it. People can be such totally spineless a-holes.

I was following some guy in a F-150 one day down a residential street. We passed by some parked cars but he didn't judge the distance very well and ended up tasking off one of the parked vehicle's outside mirrors. He kept on going like nothing happened, so I kept following him until we got to a main highway. He turned abruptly into an alley running parallel to the main highway and I stayed with him; he obviously realized that I was following him. He turned into a parking lot and I pulled up behind him, got his plate number, and got out of there in case he decided to come after me and do something (road rage). I went back to the house where the collision occurred. The owner was there looking at his car and he recognized my car, so I parked and gave him the plate number, make model, and a good description of the driver. :D Too bad back then there were no cell phone cameras (this was probably a good 12 years ago).

Went to a shop I've done business with before and they estimated it at $640 I think I can live with that. They said there wasnt any damage other than cosmetic. It seemed to drive fine, I had to spend 30 minutes on the highway to get to the shop, and also hit a pothole along the way so it seems to be holding up ok.

Get your hands on some Round Up and burn up $640.00 of the pricks front lawn....

Yeah, even though you don't really have proof that he did it, go ahead and vandalize the guy's property. That'll show him!:td

Haha I scared them enough...trust me. According to the expert opinion it wasnt due to their car. If only it was that simple.

Re: Hit and Runs...

this sucks Aldrin, glad the damage isn't worse though.

Re: Hit and Runs...

What a crappy way to spend spring break. Glad the repairs were at least affordable for you!

Re: Hit and Runs...

I believe in Karma.
Things to do go around in circles.

That neighbor likely knows who was on his driveway backing out that struck your car. The way you described things, it had to absolutely be someone coming out of that driveway given the type of impact you sustained, that was clearly not as result of a sideswipe.

$600 out of pocket sucks but I can't help but believe and trust it will come back to bite him in the rear a few times fold.
