We are sorry to announce that our “first” Honda car will no longer be driven on the roads again! The scrap yard has claimed its last remains and we mourn our loss, while counting our blessings. No humans were injured but we lose money. This rather tragic accident happened courtesy some “youngster” who turned left when she was not supposed to and banged right into the car.
Shaken, but in working condition the human called his insurance company – Geico, in hopes that this “mess” would be sorted out soon. However, little did he know that the “youngster” having a Geico as well would delay the process by atleast two weeks. With a car sitting in tow yard and making calls everyday, filing claims and sending papers, frustration grew. GEICO – the friendly Gecko? BLAH!
After a dozen calls, the judgment was passed, “5%” fault on your end. Hmmm… how did Geico come with a “95%” “youngster’s fault” and “5%” ours, does it even make sense? A conflict of interest in a big suspect! Wonder if the analysis would have been the same had the “youngster” had a different insurance company. Now we pay to get the car towed back to our house, get the car scrapped and pay the person who hit into a car “5%” of her damages. And the car is valued at whole “3.5K” less than auto-trader value, which means we lose atleast “4.5K” in this accident, which was only “5 %” our fault.
Yeah! Indeed Geico knows how to deal fairly and indeed I shall recommend it to everyone (whom we don’t care too much about)!! YAY…
Yours truly (still getting over Geico blues)
