Navigator after 3 daysJust got my 05' Navigator 3 days before. Friday my wife's Grandfather died and we were coming home from his viewing on Saturday night approx. 8:30 pm est.. Driving in the far left lane against the median wall on Hwy 285N when a 07' Silverado was merging from I-20 to 285 hydropoplaned from the merging lane all the way across the remaining 5 lanes to hit me in the passengerside door as I was driving. The front wheel, suspension and door is trashed as you can see. His rear left bed was pushed up and his rear axle was pushed forward and his tire was popped. He stated that he felt the tire pop as he merged onto 285.
Fast forward to Sunday night after the funeral I called Allstate to get a claim number and give them my information to find out he says I lost control and hit him. I am furious! I can't beleive he would lie like that.
Luckily there was a 3rd driver that saw the impact and got a flat tire from debris. We have a 3rd party witness. So far Allstate hasn't claimed blame yet. I am stressed mostly cause my wife is hurt. Her entire right side doesn't work hardly at all. She can barely lift her right arm and her head has a Large bruise from hitting the window on her side. It's not been a good week.
The pictures are not pretty and even hit taillight plastic is wedged between the door and the fender.
Oh, to add insult to injury, the truck was towed to Cymill Motors where my center caps were stolen as well as 8 lug nuts. Why in the world would they take my lug nuts? That's insane. But I know they were all there when it went on the tow truck. Sorry SOB's.
